How does a bird do that to aluminium alloy, metal and steel(materials planes are made out of). Even factoring in the force, I would imagine only a hard/strong object should be able to do that to a metal. Can anyone with better knowledge of physics explain this shyt to me or I'm I tripping.

It's happened a couple of times over the years. Manchester United in 1958, Marshall University in 1970 and last year to Brazilian football team Chapecoense. Scary shyt, glad OKC's plane landed safely.
Zambia national soccer team in 1994.

Breh Metal and Steel are too heavy for today’s aircraft..

Today’s aircraft is made of titanium and aluminum, strong yet lightweight..

I never heard of a plane going down because of a damaged nose so they were fine.

The wings/tail/engine are the parts you can't f**k with. You can possibly land with no engines because they are built to glide. If the wings or tail are substantially damaged you're fu**ed.

I see, makes sense. It's like the Nokia 3310s of this world vs modern smartphones. Aesthetics has taken precedence over durability.

Heavy materials means more fuel which itself adds weight and costs more money. Today's aircraft are plenty durable while being relatively lightweight.
