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. The crew had to request assistance to land the crippled aircraft. An Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 collided with the remote-controlled craft while approaching the airport for landing on Wednesday, according to reports on social media which were later confirmed by the airline.

Was it was a taco or burrito? If it was not can of the XX beer it did not win the 3rd X.
AGAIN - More hype by the media. There is absolutely no evidence of this damage being caused by a drone. BUT - they just report a crazy assumption as fact anyway. If they say it enough times and get others to start saying it then the public will begin to believe it, even though it's not true. This has got to stop.
Hey, why not? It worked for Joseph Gobbels, who picked it up from Woodrow Wilson.
So far no actual evidence that there was a collision with a drone or anything else for that matter. A Google search will find reports of other radomes that experience similar failures that have nothing to do with anything hitting them.
Ha ha ha. You're right. Regards.
uh.
just to be pedantic, nose cone is two words if you are talking about the leading point of an aircraft.
nosecone looks like an italian flavor of ice cream or one of the five families in new york city.

Here is a different source for this inicident to Forbes https://www.forbes.com.mx/avion-de-aeromexico-choca-contra-un-dron-en-tijuana/, inside it, there is also a link to twitter photos showing damage. Not a minor issue due it was in the San Diego - Tijuana airspace. Judge by yourselves.
