RC Plane Crashes into Real One

Or, a real plane crashes into an RC plane.

LL: A half-scale remote-control airplane collided with a real aircraft over a Colorado airport last weekend. While there were no injuries, the incident exposed the growing tension between pilots and model aircraft enthusiasts and their ever-larger RC aircraft.

The collision between the real and $8,000, 46% giant-scale remote-control aircraft occurred on August 14th at a small airport in Brighton, Colo., outside Denver. As you can see in the video below, the RC plane is hovering above the runway ten to 30 feet from the ground in a vertical position, with spectators nearby. Suddenly, a single-engine biplane goes for a low pass over the runway and splits the RC craft in half. The full-scale aircraft suffered "significant" damage, but was able to land.

Its an airplane, not a fricken helicopter. Treat it like one

I think the pilot did it on purpose.

Forget the RC Planes, what are we gonna do with these time traveling WW2 planes? If we're not careful, we could have historical paradoxes all over the place!

So that's what those guys that dress like him do... fly model airplanes.

The inability to track forward and backward in this video player is incredibly frustrating.
Not sure this is the original, but here's a YouTube embed. (Spoiler: They never do "go see the damage.")
Also, shouldn't the title be "Real Plane crashes into RC One"?
