Sooner or later it had to happen.

 

What worries me is a collision that cause an airliner to crash.

 

Have you ever seen a drone?

 

When I cast into the Cape Cod Canal, should I be worried about sinking a cruise ship?  

I'll have mine on the rocks.

I've seen photographs of them.

I saw only one that was flying.

It was pretty high.

"Who is John Galt?"
Who?
You?

Software limits them to 400' altitude and also locks out areas around airports and other no fly zones. If one was to hit an airliner it would have to be hacked first. And I doubt the jet would even know they'd collided. 

 

Drone sure would though.  :laugh:

Unless it was ingested by the engine and FODed it out.

Last place your really want to lose an engine is right after takeoff or just before landing.

 

Low altitude and low airspeed with an engine out......................bad things happen.
