"Amazon will restart its drone delivery service in Arizona beginning Friday as two federal agencies continue to investigate a crash that occurred earlier this week. Amazon suspended operations in the West Valley of the Phoenix Metro area - currently its only commercial market - following a crash Wednesday. Two of the company's Prime Air delivery drones collided with the boom of a crane near its same-day site in Tolleson, Arizona, which sent them crashing to the ground."
"The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration announced Thursday that investigations into the crash are underway. "Safety is our top priority, and we've completed our own internal review of this incident and are confident that there wasn't an issue with the drones or the technology that supports them," Clark said in an emailed statement. "Nonetheless, we've introduced additional processes like enhanced visual landscape inspections to better monitor for moving obstructions such as cranes.""
