will it blend?


be funny for guys on the ground.

also should it not be called a plane strike as technically the plane is the thing striking the birds.

haha! classic... i think the answer is: yes, it will blend.

So THAT's how they make jelly... hmm.

Gross. Did it just hit a flat surface and explode like that? Dang.

He said that given their speed and the bird's weight, it gets about 6 tons of pressure when it hits

OLBITERATED!!!

Puts things into perspective.

Actually, acording to relativity, either one can claim the other was moving towords them

pwned

no more flying for you...

That thar bird blowed up reeeel good.

Anyone speak Norwish here?

I have a sincere hope that he is talking about his lifelong hate for all bird life.

In Soviet Norway, birds hit the plane.

Translation:

If you collide with a bird, that weighs around 1.5 kg, when you accelerate at about 300m altitude, the collision with the bird will equate to about 6 tonnes.

By chance, there was a boy who was on the plane who filmed out of the window.

We overcame a flock of storks.

We hit to birds of the flock, and one of the birds made a big hole in the leading edge of the wing.

We who flew the plane weren't told by the person who filmed this that we've had a bird strike. We flew on, and after we landed we were told by the people in the back of the plane that we've had a bird strike. We were a bit resigned that the passengers hadn't told us there was a hole in the wing.

Yes it's not a bird strike, it's a plane strike. It's like when people say 'a bird hit my windshield.' No.. your windshield (and car,) hit a bird.

That is all a matter of perspective and no observer has an absolute claim to motion. Both can claim that they are still and the object hitting them in the one in motion. We have no ability to see the objective nature of their motion so the claim that one hit the other isn't really valid, both can make the claim and both are also right...from their perspective. So both a plane strike and a bird strike happened

Now a funny phrase that I really like is a near miss. Near miss would mean that you nearly missed them, so you hit them. But that isn't want is meant by the phrase. A near miss connotative means that it was a really close miss as opposed to a really far one. I still think the term is funny though. (thank you George Carlin)

Was that an African or European swallow? *brief

i would argue the relativity argument , yes i think the relitivity argument is correct in one seance. however if one Item has an active thrust on it that is grater than the other , then surly it is the item exsurting the thrust that is hitting the item that is exerting the lesser thrust.

if i was ruining away from you and you then ran faster to catch up with me and then knocked me over , through common language and semantics you would not be able to claim that the guy you were catching up with was coming towards you Evan though in terms of relative positions and movement thay were (from your perspective) the fact that thay were applying thrust away from you and you still thrusted into them makes you the one hiting into them not them hitting into you.

so i think everyone should call bird strikes plane strikes irregardless of the relative realities of each object.

What's the last thing to go through that bird's mind as it hit the plane?

Its ass.

Yes, but for practical purposes, a pilot calling to the tower and explaining that they just had a "plane strike" would not be very useful. Of course the plane was involved, what did it hit? A bird. Therefor, "bird strike".

Good thing it missed the engines, eh? I wasn't expecting the horror movie style blood explosion. Imagine what the people on the ground think when they get some localized red rain.

hitting a cheetah or a puma up there would be much more interesting and dramatic

Yea, just like my face hitting that guy's fist the other night. Boy is he going to be sore tomorrow...

^ Good example! You wouldn't say "Max hit me with his fist." You would say, "Max punched me in the face." And people would correctly assume I used my fist. You need not explicitly state that which can easily be assumed.
