Late at night, the student in the apartment is awakened by a strange smell. Investigating in the darkened rooms, she sees a burst of flame engulf her roommate’s hoverboard. There is only just enough time to get everyone out of the apartment before the rooms are fully involved. Near the end of the marathon, a camera drone suddenly begins to descend, apparently moving in for a close shot. Then it abruptly tilts and plunges, striking two runners and disrupting the finish, leaving a trail of minor injuries, angry runners, and rather pathetic-looking wreckage.
