Drone shatters passenger jet’s nosecone (photos)
A drone has collided with a passenger airplane in Mexico, mauling its nosecone and radome as the jet was attempting to land in Tijuana, Mexico.

Look at the comments on the website that the link takes you to. All 9/11 deniers! Makes you wonder about the website’s reporting....

"Mexican media are speculating about a drone impact having caused the damage."
