What is the probability that two raindrops land at the same time?

It is pitch dark. Could one raindrop survive long enough to at least hear the sound of another landing before it disintegrates?

Is the time between the drop striking the plane and the drop smashing apart so short that no drop ever hears another, or even sees evidence that any drop other than itself ever existed?
