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....

The nose of a jet liner is a radome and is not made out of metal. I don't know what exactly it is made out of it but it needs to let the radar signals through because the nose is really just a shell protecting the radar antennas. Something like this [businessinsider.com].
The bird broke some plastic instead of dented some metal. The very tip of the nose has a hole and there is the quite obvious hole the bird is sitting in.
