"Incident was harmless"

[QUOTE=Kitiara;9347149]This particular incident appears to have been harmless.

But it does serve to further underline the issue that drones present a very real and immediate danger to commercial aviation.

Like I say, this incident was harmless, but it doesn't take too much imagination to consider what a person with malicious intent and an armed drone could achieve.[/QUOTE
A few feet left or right could easily have resulted in engine ingestion. Costing a carrier a couple of quid (£s). There but for the grace ........" Harmless?
