Read the "after report"............ and what it says and the BBC report pretty much follow the same line.
Opus has that gull at 195-325 g weight which doesn't seem all that much, but then again, if this thing was flying "low and slow" as I'd expect it to be doing a roof survey and an aggressive bird hit the drone "just right" disrupting the flight process, would it have had sufficient altitude and/or time to recover?
But all the news reports I found by Googling the name of the school along with gull and strike only returned the BBC report and mentions of it on STV, which I"m not familiar with here in the United States.
Possible?? I'd have to say yes!
Credible? How much credibility would you normally give to a BBC report? Again, I have no great experience with them like you guys on your side of the Atlantic. Are they usually credible? Can you usually believe what they report? You tell me!! But I'd feel better about it if there were more than the one report about it.
