The owner of the drone is going to be in a heap of trouble since this happened at an airport.

I’ll bet there is more than $10,000,000 in damage to the aircraft...

Accident or attempted terrorism?

Had to be a pretty big drone to do that much damage.

As noted, these planes are designed to take bird strikes that are bigger than most civilian drones...

I just thought. One can easily look up the glide slope of any commercial aircraft. From that simple math will tell you the altitude of a plane along the path of its final approach. Basically I am surprised terrorists haven’t used this to bring down a plane.
