A serious O.... rap moment in a jet

Man I think I would have expelled a brick read the report then see the photos

That's incredible Adam. Glad to hear the crew made it back down safely.
As for expelling items, yea, I would have as soon as the puckering was over

What is this?

The Challenger 604 is not equipped with a bird strike barrier on the forward bulkhead.

What is this?

That's a large airplane, pictures of which you can find in the original post. But that's not important now.

LOL!

I found it interesting that Boeing is operating a Bombardier!

The bird remains will be recovered with assistance from a USDA biologist and sent to the Smithsonian Institute for identification.

Looking at the pictures, I think they can save some money- just use a Q-tip swab & use a local biochemist with an electrophoresis setup. There's not much left of the whole bird. Yuck!

Interesting that, except for that one screen, the avionics are still working.

Does Superman have insurance?

 

[flyersfan31]

Eeeeuuuwwwwwwwww!

 

[TMetzinger]

What is this?

I believe it's a specific reinforcement, sometimes a heavy mesh screen, which acts as a "strainer" in the event of a birdstrike, converting the bird to goo while absorbing energy.

Tim, that sentence is the epitome of technical writing perfection.

I wish I knew if that was sarcasm.

Those are some pretty striking pictures!

Kind of hits you right in the nose, doesn't it?

Booooo.

 

[KennyFlys]

Booooo.

Critic!

 

[Teller1900]

Critic!

With bad puns like that (not that there are good puns) you bet I am!

 

[EdFred]

Sheesh Matt, nothing to get your feathers all ruffled up over. Let the puns fly!

May the puns fly directly into Tim's goo-creating bird strike barrier!

CVR will be downloaded.

I think they're wasting their time. I can take a pretty good guess at what they'll find on the CVR starting at about 0.1 second after impact - particularly coming from the copilot.

You ain't kidding! I hope it shows up on YouTube - I'd expect a potentially-world record setting string of expletives.

LOL ain't that the truth.

Heck, I did that on the first flight of my spin training. But, there's no evidence of it.

That was my first thought as well.

I wonder what the last thing to go through that birds mind was ???

Aluminum?

Or its tail

No, actually it was sincere. It painted a perfect picture, which is what good tech writing is supposed to do.
