'It's kids — you never quite know if they're going to instantly respond.'
When photographer Dan Watson took his five kids to the New Smyrna Beach in Florida for the day, he was hoping to use his drone to capture a few shots of his kids splashing around in the water. However, once he got his drone up in the air and looked at its footage from an app on his phone, he got a whole lot more than he bargained for when he saw"Within 30 seconds of getting the drone up into the air,," Dan told BuzzFeed.
"It looked very close on the drone camera, from what I was seeing, and it was moving fairly quickly."During the chaos, Dan managed to click a button on the drone controller to snap a few photos."I was worried that they wouldn't get out in time," he explained.
Fortunately, everyone got out of the water in time and there were no injuries."I know there are sharks in the area. I do not think — or did not think — they are in shallowish waters where people would generally be," said Dan."It will be a little while before [my wife] lets the kids back in the water."
Looking back on the incident, Dan is eternally grateful he chose to bring his drone to the beach that day, especially because an 18-year-old surfer was attacked by a shark at the very same beach a week later."There would have been no way to have known or seen about this from any way, except that I happened to fly the drone at that moment in time," he said. For now, the Watson family plans to stick to the sand.
