A question I had...
What happens if an airplane hits a goose? Sucks the goose in the turbine or it hits the windshield?

They showed this on myth busters, if a goose hits a windshield on an airplane it bounces off, if it goes into the turbines it gets shredded. check out there website www.discovery.com/mythbusters

Crazy... I would think that hitting a goose at those speeds would add to the pressure of impact and would damage the windshield. I guess I can see how the turbines could be powerful enough to just chew it up and not have technical problems, I guess.

yea they build those things so strong... just random airplane info. there is no explosive decompression on a plane, if some one puts a bullet into a window, it wont explosively decompress. it actually has to be a fairly large hole.
