Fox News reports a claim that Drone at Newark Airport Came Within 30 Feet of Aircraft:
Arriving flights were halted at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on Tuesday when a drone was spotted near a neighboring airport, officials said. And one pilot claims that the drone came as close as 30 feet to his aircraft, according to a new report.
Two airplanes headed to Newark reported seeing a drone around 5 p.m. over Teterboro Airport, a smaller airport located roughly 18 miles northeast of Newark.
The FoxNews report quotes this story at ABC news:
Officials have now resumed operations after a ground stop had been ordered at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey due to drone activity, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Officials received two reports of a drone seen about 3,500 feet above Teterboro Airport in Bergen County, New Jersey, FAA spokesman Greg Martin told ABC News.
[...] "Missed the drone by about 30 feet off our right wing," one pilot said.

An aircraft hit a moving vehicle and survived? Bullshit.

Just the wheels. Just the wheels. Skid marks. Of course the aircraft didn't smash into the side of the truck.
