How does a Drone Crash and not Destroy Itself?

While some are trying to make this the President's fault, I don't see how it is anyone's fault except the CIA pilot. You want to know something about Iran, what better way to find out then send a drone over it.

What I do not understand is the following.  These things fly at an altitude of at least 10,000 feet and maybe 30,000 feet.  So wouldn't it be standing operating procedure for a malfunctioning drone to crash from it's flying altitude and destroy itself.  Somehow, the great minds in the CIA ranks managed to fly this thing down to an altitude where it did not destroy itself.  You would think the CIA above any other agency would plan for contingencies and act in a prudent manner.

Not destroying the drone was a huge mistake.
