Funniest plane vs animal ever was an Alaska Airlines MD-80 that hit a salmon climbing after takeoff. There was an Eagle in the area that had caught it and the plane startled it and it dropped it, impacting the windscreen between the two pilots.

"Bird "destroys" Boing 737-800"
Shouldn't that be "Boing 737-800 "destroys Bird"?
Or do you think the bird was OK and it's the plane that will never fly again?
status of the bird is unknown at this time

If you are wondering how much slower a low altitude, landing plane is than full speed, its in the order of 3 times slower - so a bird strike at the full speed would not just be causing 3 times the impact, the plane would have to suffer 3 times the air pressure coming at it - im no scientist, but that doesnt sound very healthy.

...is strange to me.
You wouldn't have believed the ping pong ball would do that at all, right?
