Sooooooo there's no abort button? Once the pilot hits the takeoff button your committed? Sounds great, can't wait for the first unmanned passenger jet!!
According to the narative, the incident was caused by human error. The drone pilot pressed a button that initiated the takeoff sequence. The cargo plane appears to be a German Transall.
I was going to say...it looked like it was going a little fast to be taxiing.
D'oh!!
Drücken Sie nicht den großen roten Knopf. Du meinst, diese ein? Oops.
Do not press the big red button. You mean this one? Oops.
