"Pull up then, you dont want these problems"


i think about that some times, its crazy to think that a whole teams plane could just go down :wow:

i think it only happened once, it was some soccer team in the 70s or some shyt

I came in to make a joke needing to call Lois Lane about Superman being late for dinner because he hit a plane but damn a bird did that!!!:merchant:
RIP to Big Bird:to:









:mjcry:



That picture is going to scare all the people who have never flown before. Also knowing a bird can do that makes you feel a lot less safe up in the air. Terrorists must have already know how fragile a plane can seem going at that speed at hitting anything. Glad the team and everybody else is safe.

Happened to me once.. But it didn't hit the nose it hit the rudder which was worse. People have died from bird strikes hitting the glass and going through right into the pilot in the Mara with smaller planes. We constantly have to have one person keep a look out for those joints and stay dodging them like we playing a videos game. Hated marabou storks since.

For Now I'm gonna go with @BigMoneyGrip theory. He knows that planes anatomy. Only weird thing is this happened at night? Usually birds are asleep then. And then there's no blood and no feathers or residue?
I love hearing pilots talk about shyt they experience in the air. My little cousin was a pilot in the British Air Force and use to tell all sorts of shyt he dealt with while flying

Ehhhhh....

  • First off, as soon as u understand the 'windtunnel' physics of a cone at 500mph at 25k plus feet; you'll understand the odds of direct impact with anything small is damn near impossible.
  • The nose cone is the same material as the rest of the plane, aluminum alloy. It's not designed to cave in like that
  • Looks like flightaware had the plane at around 27k feet before it rapidly descended 3k feet
  • No birds that are 1. Not seriously endangered can fly at that flight level, and 2. That are even indigenous to the US would have even hit the plane. And 3. You'd see blood and impact tracts
  • My conclusion, structural failure due to stress on the cone. The nose just simply collapsed.
