A flock of starlings fly straight into the path of a Boeing airliner as it lifts off at 200mph
Gosh…
‘It was like a scene from the Hitchcock movie The Birds. One second all was clear, and the next thing you saw were these birds swarming over the plane,’ said an onlooker.
I don’t think the starlings have been blogging about the incident, but I recognise this to be pretty tragic. I’d like to quote a comment by a vegan sharing the same opinion who was told to chill out:
“Just, FYI, you’re telling a vegan to chill about the needless slaughter of a couple hundred innocent birds by a fuel-guzzling monstrosity. Don’t push my buttons, jerk.” [Gizmodo]
Nicely put. The controversy being; better 200 dead birds than 80 passengers.
