That was no small DJI unit by the looks of the damage
Okay, they obviously hit something, but I don't see how they know it was a drone. The articles only say that the crew heard a bang and thought it was a bird strike. It doesn't say that they saw it, just heard it. Then it goes on to say that after landing "it was discovered" to have been a drone, but doesn't say how. Did they find pieces embedded? I wish the articles had gone into more detail about this.
Drone or no drone !
Time to act wise and start taking precautionary steps before some kind of catastrophe strikes!
