LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- AIR7 HD was struck midair by an object, believed to be a drone, while flying over downtown Los Angeles Wednesday night and had to make a precautionary landing.

The chopper was flying over downtown around 7:15 p.m. when the pilot and reporter Chris Cristi say they heard and felt a bang as an object struck the tail of the chopper.

The impact did not affect the helicopter's ability to fly but the pilot landed as a precaution.

"We were flying just east of downtown LA and we heard this pop, a loud bang," Cristi said. "We felt it, we heard it. We all looked at each other. Didn't really know what it was. Just assumed it was a bird because that happens every once in a while. When we got on the ground, though, it was a different story."
