Trump admin 'playing cleanup' after 'friendly fire incident' results in airspace shutdown
The U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone in Texas, forcing the closure of more airspace near El Paso, and CNN's Pete Muntean tried to explain what happened.
It's not yet clear why the laser was used against the drone – the second such instance in two weeks in that area – but the incident again shows a breakdown in communication between the military and the Federal Aviation Administration, which is required to receive notification of counter-drone activity within U.S. airspace.
