The previously classified video below was filmed in 2004 by an unmanned German Luna drone. The 9-year-old video, which was taken over Kabul Afghanistan, shows the 88 lb drone narrowly miss striking the engine of an Afghan passenger plane carrying 100 people. The drone became caught in the air turbulence created by the large passenger plane, causing it to lose control and pass only a few feet underneath the wing.

The shocking video is causing outrage in Germany, nine years after the incident occurred. Unfortunately for the German Minister of Defense, Thomas de Maiziere, the video is going viral at a rather inconvenient time. Maiziere faces intense public scrutiny over scrapping the ‘Euro Hawk’ surveillance drone project two weeks ago due to excessive cost overruns.
