That was a big ass bird.
That was a big ass bird.
At those speeds a bird the size of a chicken can do substantial damage. Companies actually test airplane windshields by launching whole chickens at the windshields using pneumatic cannons. Feathered dead chickens like you buy at the grocery store. Not live ones.
Mythbusters had a couple episodes of that, they did frozen and thawed ones
Looks like the plane engineers just winged it.
The bird's attorney will probably file a Pelican brief.
