As Bill Engvall says, "dont want to meet a bird that can damage a jet liner, cuz i thought they were extinct"

Good grief! What the heck did he hit? A Flamingo?

"possibly a bird."

It could have been an alien! About time they showed up, too! *checks watch* I need to get home!

**Scuba Kid** · 07-07-2008, 06:20 PM

It was probably Rudolph.

This photo was taken just before the dent happened

lmao. I'd believe it if it wasn't July.

Katie, maybe Santa was on his way back from a summer vacation in Florida. You can pick up some cool gifts down there this time of year. LOL

That dent is waaaay too big to be caused by a collision with a bird.

As the article says ... "possibly a bird".

No it's not. A big bird like a goose or something hitting the plane at 200mph could probably do that with ease.
But you're right, it wasn't a bird. It was Prince. He was playing basketball again, and threw a wildly way-off 3-pointer when he got distracted by this low flying plane over the court. The ball flew up, hit the plane, and rebounded off of two buildings before SWOOSH!.. nothing but net. Unfortunately, it was in the other team's goal, so out of embarassment he's kept it quiet.

TOS must moonlight as a sports commentator. lol

Well it is winter below the equator so it could have been santa, but I really hope not. Maybe it was a pterodactyl.
