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....

    This time of year in Miami, I'd guess that's a turkey vulture.

    With an average of one landing every 2.5 minutes, 24-7-365 at MIA, it's not much of a surprise that they hit a turkey vulture just right to embed its head behind the nose cone and run its neck up the impact-crack.
