When Birds strike backa..

[Dr.Farhan]

what happens when an airplane hits a bird at 500kmph?..

But Nneeeeoooooo....


Birds striking airplanes have caused much much devastation..

I know, I have seen many pictures of birds hitting planes and causing them to crash:
Even PAF has suffered, at least once:

a bird colliding with an airplane is a pilots worst nightmare. you will notice generally the areas around airports are bird-free. on military airbases, they hunt down birds like eagles and such to make the area clear for fighters and other aircrafts.

Yeah Maybe that motorcyclist was "flying" his heavy bike or that poor bird was driving on road instead of flying in sky

eagles have been known to hit planes thousands of miles in the air, esp the 747s....


Eagle once hit our car windshield at our speed of 80km/hr.. there was approximately 400kg of people weight in car, and the car itself Honda city, pretty heavy..

the car shook like a leaf in air, and everyone shook like in a 9 scale Earthquake.. luckily, we didnt spin put of control, and were saved..

Eagles are one tough SOBs..

Yes eagles are big, some species with huge wingspans, no doubt they would cause a lot of damage, specially to aircrafts traveling at over 500 km/h.

And the things i wanted to point out here

is:
"Comments:
The aircraft took off from Sargodha AB and hit a wild boar causing the two pilots to eject. "

I mean this is really strange!
