Ah yes, I saw this on Digg. Shame.

 

WTF lol. Thats like the deer and the trail blazer we saw here recently. How the hell does a bird not get out of the way lol. Second, think how fast he must have been going to get the bird through the windshield.

 

they said 250 km/hr i think....

 

I can't wait for the day I have a high speed encounter with an animal like that... it really does not take that much to get something like that through your window! apparently a crash of just 35 MPH is enough to get a baby our of a persons arms, right through the windscreen and down the road about 30 feet. Thus why we have childrens carseats now. I am actually quite amazed that the thing didn't get blasted right out the back window on it's way through the car.

Didn't look to me like there was a piece big enough to maintain the velocity required to pass through the rear window.:lol: Like the bird got juiced and the pulp was just sprayed around inside the car.

When I was younger, I was in a car that hit a canadian goose. It cracked the windsheild, just not like that. We were only going about 45 or so.

I can't imagine what hitting that must have been like.

 

our UPS man had a wild turkey fly in his open door going down the road. He got excited and put the truck in the ditch then on it's side.

HAHAHAHA

I wish I could have heard that little encounter!

 

+1, another reason to carry a shotgun with you in back country roads. You never know when your gonna be able to get dinner next lol. I passed five deer on the side of the road.

 

Not nearly as bad as the deer, but still gross nonetheless.

 

FYI: 250 km/h = about 150 mph. (60 km / 100 give or take)

Edit: I just did the math, that's about 220 feet per second! If you had that kind of inertia going, 220 ft per second, I'd say it wouldn't be too big of a deal to swallow a bird through thin windshield.

Edit: Here's the math:

250 x .6 (km ---> mi conversion) = 150 mph

150 / 60 = miles per minute = 2.5 miles per minute

2.5 / 60 = miles per second = .041666 (repeating)

.0416666 x 5280 (ft. / mile) = 220 feet per second. That's pretty fucking fast.

 

I hope PETA gets a hold of this site

 

Slow down! Save the birds!

 

fuckin sick!!! A place I used to work at dealt with a similar situation...except it involved a deer and a ford taurus. Ick.

 

There's a pic on Wrecked Exotics.com somewhere of a deer that jumped off an overpass onto a freeway, into the windshield of a red Dodge Durango.
