There has been a report that a news helicopter for channel 7, American Broadcasting Company (owned by Disney) was struck by something that the pilot is not sure what, perhaps a drone.  The damage near the tail rotor on a horozontal fin, looked to be one approxamately 3 inches long by about 1/2"  to 3/4" wide hole, also some paint cracking, and other dents on the same fin about a foot away from the hole.  The FAA and local police department are investigating.
     Just a note about this.

Yeah, kind of like hitting a small log on the lake as your boat speeds along.  Maybe they should ban logs

I hit a log on the road the other day, it was hidden by leaves.

Get some protesters and march that road until logs are banned.
