    Apparently pilot reported a bird strike. :shifty: Must have been a pretty big fucking bird.
    It was a flock of geese.
    Not really...it can happen,average bird can cause a plain crash as far as I know.

    sounds like stuff they made before,hopefully it won't be like minutes to midnight.
    True, one bird can crash a plane, since the engines aren't meant to have that happen.

    Canadian geese, the big ones.

    Actually, one expert said they throw frozen Turkeys into the engines to test the sustainability of it. It's an Airbus apparently, so they do take proper measures, one would think.

    Canada Geese, I think.

    They aren't Canadian, still confused.

    But, in reference to the turkeys, I've heard that too, but that is untrue, it's a myth. If you think about it, it makes sense, throwing a frozen turkey into a turbofan engine is like throwing a bowling ball in there. Now the titanium fan blades are strong, but they are meant to compress air and sustain heat, not deal with frozen turkeys.

    But I think what you may be thinking about is wind shields, they do bird test those.
    Bubble head? What's dat?
