As if anti-drone fearmongering wasn't bad enough.

[Revere]

With all the scaremongering out there about drones the last thing anyone needs are people making fake drone videos showing aircraft strikes to make things worse.

Just watch this.

Now this is a fake (look at the wingtip before impact it is emblazoned with the barely visible web address Branit.com a visual effects company) but how many people watching it would realize that it's a fake? And more importantly who paid to commission it?

Self promotion by the VFX company. Viral videos can generate a lot of attention.

I gotta say...its rather well done.

Birds remain the number one danger to passenger aircraft. We need to ban birds first...then ice...we need to ban ice...after all that we can worry about the so called "drones"

But I like ice!?!1

And birds. And drones.

:-(

It looks more to me like the plane hit the drone. I'd call this a plane strike. We should ban passenger aircraft; They are the real problem.

Love that one. "I'm sorry sir you're flight to miami has been cancelled due to the anti-passenger plane law enacted by the supreme Court. Maybe you can drive?" Lmfao
