A live television broadcast in Mexico took a frightening turn when presenter Ernesto Chavana kicked a drone inside the studio, accidentally sending it into the face of a female cast member. The incident occurred during Es Show, an entertainment programme broadcast on Canal 6 by Multimedios Television in Monterrey, Mexico. Video footage shows Chavana, dressed in a light blue suit, lifting his leg and kicking a small drone that was flying close to him during the programme. The drone was knocked off course and flew towards Colombian model Isabella Rojas, also known on the show as La Colombiana, striking her in the face. Rojas immediately grabbed her face and bent forward in pain as other women on the set reacted in shock. Several cast members rushed to assist her before she was escorted away to receive medical attention. The dramatic sequence, captured during the live broadcast, quickly circulated on social media, with viewers questioning why the presenter had kicked the drone while several people were standing nearby. Reports indicate that Rojas suffered injuries around her mouth and lip. She subsequently returned to the programme after receiving medical attention, with initial reports suggesting that her injuries were not serious. Chavana later publicly apologised for the incident, expressing embarrassment and accepting full responsibility for what had happened. The presenter also indicated that he would take responsibility for any expenses arising from the accident. In a subsequent statement, Chavana said he had apologised directly to Rojas and that she had accepted his apology. He maintained that he had never intended to injure anyone. The incident has raised questions about safety precautions when operating drones around performers and presenters in television studios. Although the footage has attracted widespread attention and criticism, no disciplinary action against Chavana had been confirmed as of October 28. Article and image source: instagram.com
