Drone floats into damaged New Zealand cathedral, returns with haunting video Whenever disaster strikes, robots are among the first to scope out the damage. Rarely, however, do they return with footage as eerie as what this Parrot AR.Drone recorded in Christchurch, New Zealand. In the wake of Monday's 6.0-magnitude earthquake, engineers sent the $500 bot into the city's Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament -- a 106-year-old Roman Catholic church that had sustained significant damage, rendering it too dangerous for humans to enter. The iPad-controlled quadrocopter swooped in and captured rather depressing images of the cathedral's battered interior. The video's quality may be low, but its creepy quotient is high: shattered stained-glass windows, piles of debris, stray pieces of iconography -- it's all quite heavy.

Click the image to see the drone’s full video Über-cool iPhone-controlled quadricopters from Parrot are finding some interesting uses in New Zealand where Opus engineers sent an iPad-controlled drone to examine and film the front of Christchurch’s Roman catholic cathedral which has been damaged in Monday’s quake and is now pretty unstable, 3News.co.nz explains:

It’s a type of toy called a ‘quadricopter’ and was bought from Dick Smith. Controlled by an iPad, it can fly and film. Opus engineers have put a polystyrene reinforcing around it. The drone recently crept its way inside the cathedral for a test flight. The whole area’s too dangerous for engineers to get close. They have a nice video of the drone so go ahead and click on the above screenshot to watch it via 3News.co.nz. Sorry, we couldn’t find the embed code for the clip.

The Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was badly battered by the February quake and stands as a pained memorial to the dead and the hole in the lives of the living, who are unable to re-enter the worst affected part of the city.
