The drone struck one of the plane's wings, while six passengers and two crew members were aboard. The aircraft sustained only minor damage and was able to land safely, the Canadian transport minister said.
The Skyjet flight was heading to Quebec City's Jean Lesage International Airport when the drone hit it on 12 October.
...
In a statement, transport minister Marc Garneau said: "Although the vast majority of drone operators fly responsibly, it was our concern for incidents like this that prompted me to take action and issue interim safety measures restricting where recreational drones could be flown.
"I would like to remind drone operators that endangering the safety of an aircraft is extremely dangerous and a serious offence."

Drone collides with commercial aeroplane in Canada It was only a matter of time. Look for terrorists to use one to bring down an airliner.

I think they are trying. Hundreds of drone issues are reported in the Denver airport area every year.

Lock up the operator and throw away the key.
Active, preventive enforcement is needed too.
People can operate drones safely- but only if they’re forced tp do so.

Inevitable. Allowing ordinary idiots to use drones was stupid from day one.

Myrna Loy was in that flick? Wish I’d known who she was back when I saw it. Playing an older character no doubt. But probably still had “it”

Allowing ordinary idiots to use drones was stupid from day one. On and above one's own personal real estate, certainly not.

You should join the democrat party. They feel that way about pretty much everything except abortion.

The police will track the serial numbers on the parts to find where it was made and who they sold it to. (hopefully)
