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 jetliner is a plastic shell called a radome. Like this [businessinsider.com].
It looks like the bird hit the tip of the nose first, broke it, then got sucked around and slammed into the side of the aircraft, punched a giant hole, then came to rest inside the radome.
