Oh, flock!



Dusseldorf, we have a problem...

‘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.

It is thought more than 200 starlings were sucked into the right engine as the Boeing jet approached 200mph. Others dented the fuselage but thankfully did not pierce it. Their splattered remains could be seen on the plane later.

I bet a lot of people were plotzing in their lederhosen on that flight.

I have a German/Holocaust joke forming, but I'm going to abandon it. "Oh the fowlanity*"

*Hindenburg reference...also German.

I'm glad that you're still able to keep the Hindenburg references alive in everyday conversation.

Someone's gotta do it...it might as well be you. =)
