There has been a lot more close calls with drones flying planes this is the first collision that had happen between a plane and a drone. Also they say that drones are getting out of hand and are getting quite dangerous

Questions:

How would you react if you were on the plane and a drone hit the plane you were on?

How would you help prevent things like this to not happen again?

Do you think drones are becoming too dangerous? Why/Why not.

My Opinion. 

I would most likely flip out i was on the plane and a drone hit the plane and try and sue them.

I would ban drones that could fly above a certain altitude and ban flying them within a 10 mile radios of the runway 

I think they are because now they are hitting plane and people and they are starting to be more harmful that just a fun hobby

  • You did a good job replying overall but be sure to comment three different days. Your summary is a bit brief and also be sure to capitalize words in your title and the first letter of your summary.

  • I personally think that the drones and all that has happened with drones is getting out of hand and to dangerous. People are going to start getting hurt and it wont be preventable because it's only one person controlling the drone. I think the drone situation needs to be toned down for  a bit.

  • I would be nervous if a drone hit a plane I was on because you don't know what the drone can do, it could have a bomb or something. To prevent this inventors to make it so drones cant fly so high to a certain point. I think drones are helpful in many ways but people can use them the wrong way so Yes I do think they are becoming dangerous because people don't use them correctly. 

  • I would be worried because you never know what that drone could of been holding. Well when I had a drone it would only go up so far so things like this WOULDN'T happen. I do because at first it was meant to see things we couldnt from way down on the ground. 

    • THats true i never thought about it like that. Like what if it was holding something that was dangerous. I agree that they were only meant to be a fun toy or help scientist with seeing the world

  • I would immediately be concerned and worry that it would bring the plane down. I would also look at charging the plane and/or drone operator. I think drones shouldn't be able to fly a certain distance within an airplane so something like this doesn't happen again. I think it just depends on who drives them. 

    • I Would feel the same and freak out. I agree that they should charge the drone flyer for endangering the people on the plane and who/what ever was below them if it turn bad

  • I would feel scared because I would have no idea what just hit the plane and I probably thought it was an attack. They need to have a law that you can't fly a drone a specific height in the air. I think they're dangerous if you don't use them properly but otherwise I think they have good purpose.

    • I think i would think it would have been an attack too and start paninicing.  I think the law should be more so that you can only fly drones in certain areas. I agree if you dont use the wisely/properly they become dangerous

  • I would get scared because I would have no idea what just happened. In order to prevent this from happening, I think that one would need to make it so that drones can't fly near other moving objects such as cars/planes. Drones are becoming more dangerous because they are becoming more advanced and many more people are buying them and testing them out.
