Did it hit big bird? That’s some damage !

That’s not half as bad as the damage my mate’s bird did to his car after he was caught offside.

Was it one of those birds from the Russian wrestling team?

Is the bird ok?

Scientists at NASA have developed a gun for the purpose of launching dead chickens. It is used to shoot a dead chicken at the windshield of airline jet, military jet, or the space shuttle, at that vehicle’s maximum traveling velocity. The idea being, that it would simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl, and therefore determine if the windshields are strong enough to endure high-speed bird strikes.

British engineers, upon hearing of the gun, were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. However, upon firing the gun, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken shattered the windshield, smashed through the control console, snapped the engineer’s backrest in two, and embedded itself into the back wall of the cabin.

Horrified and puzzled, the engineers sent NASA the results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, and asked the NASA scientists for any suggestions.
The NASA scientists sent back a brief response: “Thaw the chicken.”

That was aviary close call, I’m a pilot, and I hate it wren that happens. You’d think the bird could have dove out of the way but at that speed I suppose it’s ostrich of the imagination.

It probably hit Boris Johnson dangling on that rope.

Feckin’ birds again.

AFAIK there’s some sort of nav/weather radar behind the nose cone so it’s not a pressurised part of the aircraft and wouldn’t cripple the aircraft. Mind you, since they parked it up at the terminal building it must have been somewhat disconcerting to other passengers boarding other flights!

Hope it wasn’t one of Noel gallaghers high flyin birds I’m goin to see them next week! :(

They say it was Charlie Adams penalty that caused it, Not a bird

Poor bird.

I hit a pigeon once with my car and while there were loads of feathers on the road behind, there certainly wasn’t an enormous great hole in the front of the car. What are Boeing making their planes from? Maybe the bird was a frozen chicken shot from a cannon.

What the hell was the pilot looking at.. Lucky it wasn’t an old lady

Hope it wasn’t one of Noel gallaghers high flyin birds I’m goin to see them next week! :(

Look at what the plane did to the bird.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a bird hitting a plane:)

The plane landed ok but did the bird?

Bird was probably pissed on the way home from a nite with the….birds

Just another reason to hate flying, thanks for that!

insert witty bird/ aeroplane joke here please
