A "personal drone" that crashed and burst into flames was the cause of the Kendrick Fire, a 335 acre fire in the Coconino National Forest (wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconino_National_Forest) in northern Arizona, USA. Coconino National Forest spokesman George Jozens said that about 30 firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and Summit Fire and Medical worked to quell the fire.

    If we are gonna go after the drone manufacturer for this, why aren't we going after Microsoft and whoever did this JavaScript thing for all these "wildfires" in our computer networks?

    I am not talking freak occurrence. I am talking about stuff everyone knows is well known for having this kind of problem. But use it anyway.
