Preamble:
As an emerging technology product, drones have been widely used in all walks of life in recent years, especially in various large-scale events, drones can often bring a different visual feast to the audience, so they are also favored by many event planners. However, just recently, a drone show in Nanning, Guangxi Province suffered an accident because of sudden extreme weather, more than 400 drones lost control and were blown away, bringing huge economic losses to the performance team, and more importantly, such an accident also sounded the alarm for the construction of modern cities and the prevention of extreme weather.
1. The drone show encountered extreme weather accidents
Recently, a drone show event in Nanning, Guangxi Province has become a hot topic, however, it has become a hot topic not because it is exciting, but because the sudden extreme weather during the whole performance has brought a huge impact to the performance team.
It is understood that the performance scene at that time suddenly appeared in the extreme weather of strong winds and lightning and thunder, and such weather is undoubtedly a huge test for the flight of drones, more than 400 drones almost instantly lost control, blown around by the strong wind, and the performance team was helpless, watching their "fruits of labor" destroyed.
What's more, such extreme weather also brought potential safety hazards to the audience and staff at the scene, because after more than 400 drones lost control, the location of their fall could not be effectively controlled, and once it was hit, it could lead to injuries, which was why the staff at that time had to immediately evacuate the audience.
It is reported that although the current UAV technology has been very advanced, but in the extreme weather environment, the flight of the UAV does still have certain risks, especially in weather like wind and lightning, which can easily lead to the loss of control of the UAV, therefore, when choosing the time and place of the UAV show, we must conduct a comprehensive assessment and prediction of the weather conditions at that time to avoid similar accidents from happening again.
2. The enlightenment of extreme weather to urban construction
In addition to the warning effect on the drone performance team, such extreme weather accidents have also brought certain inspiration to the construction of modern cities, especially in the planning and design of high-rise buildings and various outdoor squares in the city.
In this drone show accident, the sudden appearance of wind and lightning has brought huge hidden dangers to the flight safety of drones, and such extreme weather is also a challenge for general buildings, especially those high-rise buildings, whose façade design often uses large areas of glass curtain walls, which are easy to be smashed in extreme weather, and there are great safety hazards.
Therefore, in the construction work of the city, especially in the planning and design of high-rise buildings, it is necessary to take into account the factors of extreme weather, reasonably place protective facilities, adopt building materials that resist wind pressure and impact, and at the same time innovate in the design of glass curtain walls and anti-theft nets, so as to ensure that the safe use of buildings can still be guaranteed in the case of extreme weather, and avoid harm to the surrounding citizens and pedestrians.
In addition, in the planning and design of various outdoor squares and public activity venues, it is also necessary to take into account the impact of extreme weather, reasonably set up sunshade and rainproof facilities, ensure the safety of citizens' activities in normal weather and extreme weather, and also provide good emergency evacuation channels for various large-scale activities, so that the staff at the event site can respond to various emergencies in a timely and effective manner.
3. Strengthen society's ability to cope with extreme weather
In addition to the enlightenment of drone shows and urban construction work, such extreme weather accidents also pose certain challenges to the safety prevention work of the society, especially in various safety accidents and disasters that may be caused by extreme weather.
Nowadays, with the change of the global climate, the frequency of various extreme weather in the city seems to be getting higher and higher, and such extreme weather often brings a certain impact on all aspects of the city, whether it is traffic or public life will be affected to a certain extent, and more seriously, extreme weather can easily lead to the occurrence of various safety accidents, which threatens people's lives and property.
Therefore, in the face of the challenge of extreme weather, all aspects of society need to work together to strengthen the early warning and monitoring of extreme weather, improve the awareness and understanding of extreme weather, and also strengthen the investigation and management of various potential safety hazards to ensure that the occurrence of various safety accidents can be minimized in the case of extreme weather.
Especially in the community and government departments, it is also necessary to strengthen the construction of emergency plans and rescue mechanisms for extreme weather, improve disaster response capabilities and efficiency, and also guide the general public to enhance their awareness of self-protection, so that everyone can take various preventive measures before the arrival of extreme weather to reduce the impact of extreme weather on life and work.
Epilogue:
Extreme weather seems to have become a part of the development process of modern society that cannot be ignored, and how to effectively prevent and mitigate the impact of extreme weather on urban and social development, everyone needs to participate and work hard, drone show accident may be just a small warning, I hope that through such a warning, more people can be aroused to extreme weather and safety precautions, let us work together to build a safe and harmonious social environment.
