Air Force suspends teleworking drone operator after wedding party bombed

LAS VEGAS, NV — The Air Force is rethinking its liberal telecommuting policy after a drone operator working from home accidentally incinerated a Yemeni wedding party in what Air Force officials are calling a "whoops-my-bad" incident.

According to the Air Force, the now-suspended operator, whose name is being withheld for security reasons, was in the midst of both controlling his MQ-9 Reaper over a suspected enemy compound in Yemen while simultaneously playing with a kitten on his desk.

Apparently the cat suddenly jumped on the keyboard, resulting in the Reaper launching half-a-dozen missiles at a wedding party, killing fifteen.
