    Irish radio (FM104 or so journalist) said the chopper got hit by a meteor this morning.
    I was like "WTF is he she talking about?"

    But in fact it got hit by a plane. Even pictures are available.

    Anyone heard too?

    a meteor sounds way more awesome than a plane. they were just trying to spice things up to win over some new listeners

    There was a light aircraft manufacturer by the name of Meteor S.P.A. (Now known as Sky Arrow). Could always have been one of those which hit the chopper, hence 'helicopter hit by meteor'
