True, if it went into the engine. A pigeon will do the same, and there are a hell of a lot more of them that we can't regulate.

But how much damage did it actually do? Maybe CASA's research was actually accurate?

The skeptic in me also thinks whether it actually happened. For example: My co-pilot and I could have a long discussion about the threat of drones, and agree we dislike them. I know, let's say we hit one on final to create some action from the authorities.

Is there actually any proof it hit them? No damage found, no drone located in the streets.

I agree the drones are a threat (albeit a small one), but this incident, if true, has shown they are unlikely to cause the mass damage chicken little and co. were talking about earlier.
