I saw a bald eagle by MDW airport.. maybe that’s why.
Can we not detect them so the towers can redirect planes during take off and landing?
So CNN is firing Lemon because he supposedly disparaged women but on the other hand they’re going to hire Gayle King who stated on national TV, that she would rather have a four-legged dog in her bed rather than a two-legged (man) dog. Any male stating that comparison with a female dog would be fired immediately. Just more male bashing.
Right over my house
I cannot believe that a small bird can take out a giant flying hunk of metal from the sky 😮
I swear, I thought about this on my last flight. So it is a thing!
Sudden death by the geese. Thoughts and prayers
Probably smell like chicken from the geese
How can you smell something burning when the plane is sealed tight don't get it😅
Carla Dove? Suspicious AF
I'm just perplexed as to why geese don't have the instinct to move away from an airplane rather than towards it.
What's for diner? Roasted goose.
Just ran through the comments to see my favorite trigger sightings..how we have overstepped our boundaries – that we are the intruders and obscenity upon the "plight" of nature and mother earth…knowing that the commentaries come from those who are probably sitting in warm houses,texting their outrage while sipping on some Bordeaux,whilst eating crackers and cheese whiz. And concerning geese..here in Ohio I have seen(since many moons ago,making them an endangered species) the duck population plummet by literally hundreds of thousands in the last 30 years..the geese push them out farther and farther from natural areas they once had for nesting,there by drastically reducing a ducklings chance for survival. And anyone in Ohio's cities can attest to how nasty and stupid freaking geese are
Hope the birds are okay.
Just wait till when ISIS teaches Ostriches how to fly.
Poor geese
But people think planes can go through steel beams lol
Why not just cage the engine's, so air still gets in but the birds stay out 🤷♂️
I hate that it's called a bird strike when we're really the ones overstepping nature's boundaries
This means a pig can fly with her in piglets and knocks out a plane engine 😂😂
So not a single human life was lost and people on the ground got a bunch of fried and shredded geese for dinner. Sounds like a win win to me.
The birds were reincarnated democrats.😂
