Key Takeaways:

An Amazon Prime Air MK30 delivery drone crashed into an apartment building in Texas, marking the second MK30 incident in the state in three months and part of a series of recent crashes.
The incident resulted in minimal damage to the building with no fire, and Amazon is currently investigating the cause and coordinating repairs.
These repeated drone incidents are fueling concerns from groups like AOPA regarding the FAA's proposed Part 108 rule, which aims to expand commercial drone operations by relying more on automated detect-and-avoid systems.

An Amazon Prime Air MK30 delivery drone crashed into an apartment building in Texas earlier this week, marking the second MK30-related incident in the state in the past three months.

Cessy Johnson, a local resident who shared video of the Wednesday incident with KDFW-TV, told the Dallas-Fort Worth Fox affiliate that she began filming the drone because she had never seen one in action.
