The intact carcass of a bird dangles from a plane after colliding with the aircraft approaching Miami International Airport.

This would seem to defy the laws of physics, or that just the bird's neck is Kryptonian. It's name is being witheld until the next of kin is notified....

    Bird heads are ridiculously easy to pop off. Some Dove hunters I know rip the breast meat nuggets right out of the bird with their bare hands. It's a pretty disgusting spectacle until you get used to it.

    First, you grab the neck and rip off the head, it comes right off with minimal force. Then you stick your fingers down the neck-hole down to the heart and rip the whole bird in half. That part takes some effort. Then you rip the heart off and toss it aside. then, finally, you dig out the breast meat nuggets and cook them (rednecks like to flash-fry them).

    That's gripping with hands, this was landing approach speed right smack up against the nosecone where there's a fair amount of backpressure that lowers the airspeed on the bird-body even further. Weird yes, unbelievable no.
