"narrowly avoided a collision" like the drone was going to take down a goddamn airbus
[QUOTE=st112570;51513978]"narrowly avoided a collision" like the drone was going to take down a goddamn airbus[/QUOTE] If it got sucked into one of the jet engines it very well could have. Maybe not causing a crash, but definitely causing it to get grounded, ruining or damaging a jet engine, and in general costing everybody a ton of money. Birds have taken out jumbo jets by getting sucked into the engines in the past.
