SUMMARY
In a complex aerial feat, 2,977 drones were used to recreate a 1:1 scale replica of the Twin Towers in the New York City skyline, honoring the victims of the 9/11 attacks. The tribute, organized by Sky Elements Drone and gifted to the city, required months of planning and coordination with numerous authorities due to the challenging airspace.
