Thanks for slapping that clown with some reality.

There was a MD-80 that ingested a bird or something a while back (more than a decade, I think) and the turbine blades penetrated the cabin and killed someone as I recall.

At least the newer designs try to contain the failures better.

Some people can’t believe that a goose could do that to a turbofan engine. I can. When I was 4 years old, I was in a park, got surrounded by Canadian geese while trying to feed them stale bread. They beat the snot out of me and my little brother. Those SOB’s are strong, their elbows in the winds are like hammers, man. They’re pretty solid chunk of muscle...

Now that I’m older, I have shotguns and hunt, I’m going to deliver some payback this coming fall.

Any goose can be a tough customer; way worse than the average dog, because they are agressive, while the dogs are cowardly.

Tell the "some people" to look up

That should answer the question/remove any doubt about bird strike fatalities....

The memorial for the dead crew members is found
