Narrative:
AAIB investigation to DJI Matrice 210, (UAS, registration n/a): Dropped vertically onto a building due to propulsion error, Bury Road, Chedburgh, Suffolk, 28 July 2019. The AAIB Final Report was published on 9 January 2020, and the following is the summary from it:

"The DJI Matrice 210 quadcopter small unmanned aircraft (SUA) was being operated at night over a small industrial estate in light rain. About 20 minutes into the flight the aircraft dropped suddenly without warning from a height of 70 metres (230 feet). The aircraft hit the corrugated roof of a building and was destroyed; there was some impact damage to the roof.

The remains of the aircraft were sent to the manufacturer for examination. They determined that the accident was caused by a propulsion error of the no 2 motor but were unable to determine the reason for it.

Refer to report on DJI Matrice 210 - EW/G2019/03/12 in this AAIB Bulletin 1/2020 for information on other accidents involving the DJI Matrice 210 and Safety Recommendations concerning the safe operation of a UAS near to people and congested areas.
