On June 22, 2014, the Washington Post published the results of a far-reaching investigation into crashes that have occurred in the U.S. drone program.
Shockingly, of the 194 major ("Class A") crashes that the Washington Post was able to document, 47 occurred within the United States.
Below is information on eleven (11) drone crashes that occurred in the state of New Mexico alone between the years 2001 and 2011. All eleven incidents involved Air Force drones; all but two of the crashes were associated with Holloman Air Force Base.
(See the full online database of crashes on the Washington Post website for full details of these and other drone crashes.)
