Bird Collides Into Gigantic Airplane.




Bird Collides Into Gigantic Airplane


By Young Mok Bae


In June 31, a small bird called into gigantic airplane. This airplane is planned to fly from Dallas to Denver. The pilot managed to get the airplane into control.
And now, Let's talk about it.

To Pilot, The take-off or landing is also called the death of 9 minutes. It is the most accident-occuring part of the whole flight. The reason is that airplane's altitude is low comparing to real flight way, which means that airplane pass the bird-flying zone by increasing the altitude.

The airplane collided into bird 40km away from the Denver Internation Airport, and fortunately, thanks to great pilot, 151 of passengers(which is all) were able to land into runway safely.

According to Airplane Company, The nose(control room) is the easiet part to collide with the bird. If nose got hit by bird while gaining altitude(which is the speed of approximately 240km/h), it will be same damage as you drop 450kg rock in 3m height.

That's a lot isn't it?

 And also according to wild animal expert, they are predicting that it will be a giant duck or goose.

  1. Very interesting post! I didn't know about that, but I'll be sure to think about that, and look out my window for birds, the next time I fly in an airplane! Good work overall, but please edit your own posts for spelling and typos, then have a teacher (or TA) check it again before you publish it! Keep up the good work!
