UK minister downplays Heathrow drone collision

UK police reported earlier this week that a passenger plane landing at Heathrow collided with a drone, but it turns out that it may have been a plastic bag.

Speaking with The Telegraph, UK transport minister Robert Goodwill revealed that there is speculation that the collision “may have even been a plastic bag or something.”

He explained that “It was the local police force that tweeted that they had a report of a drone striking an aircraft.” He added, “The early reports of a dent in the front of the plane were not confirmed — there was no actual damage to the plane.”
