Amazon is among the largest companies in the world. The company, which also offers services such as transportation to its users apart from e-commerce, allows customers to use only Amazon services during the purchasing process.
Amazon is trying to increase its activities in the field of transportation day by day. The company, which especially pleases its customers with its fast delivery options, works on new ideas and wants the deliveries to take place in an even shorter time. An emerging claim shows that the company had to postpone its work in this area.

Amazon has decided to delay 30-minute flight deliveries due to forest fire!
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has long considered building a fleet of drones so Prime customers can receive their deliveries within 30 minutes. Therefore, the company has invested nearly $2 billion in this project to date. However, according to the emerging reports, these investments may have been garbage.
It was pushed aside due to security concerns and technical difficulties, according to a report by Bloomberg. In addition to these, some drones crashed in the tests and caused a 25-acre forest area to burn. This situation played a big role in slowing down the project and putting it aside.
While the special delivery drone was in the air, a technical failure occurred in its engines. As a result of this malfunction, the vehicle turned upside down in the air and crashed to the ground from 160 meters. As a result, a fire broke out in the forest area and 25 acres of land was burned. Although it is normal for such things to happen during testing, it poses a great risk in terms of security.
However, in the new plans, 12,000 tests are planned in 2022. By the end of February, only 200 tests had been completed. This shows us that the project has been slowed down. So, what are your thoughts? Do you think such drone deliveries should be expanded worldwide? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
