There was a regrettable case in Spain concerning some old bloke out walking his dog, who objected to a copter roaring overhead and threw a rock at it. He must have had bloody strong arms because the rock went down some vital bit of the craft and brought the helicopter down. No one was killed but he was apparently sued by an irate Spanish air force.

I have no idea if this is really true.
