Height of semi truck- 13 feet/ 156 inches
Width of semi truck- 8.5 feet/ 102 inches
If these were the Blue Angels of Starlings and flew wing tip to tip, the truck is 6.48 "starlings" wide.
You would need 15.43 rows of tip to tip starlings (vertical rows) X 6.48 (horizontal rows) this leaves no allowance for ground clearance and assumes they are capable of literally scraping the pavement with their belly as they fly in a precise cube pattern stacked like pancakes and flying wing tip to wing tip.
Happens all the time.

Your forgetting depth in your equation. They were not in a 2D flat sheet, but rather a 3D cluster of them.

Well, I'm too sick and too lazy to do all those math computations... but just today, around 300 birds fell dead on I-65 near Athens/Huntsville, Alabama, because "They ran into a truck".

Okay then. Crazy Birds.
I did not know about this one at the time of my post. One of the viewer comments below the story asks a good question, where are the broken windshields, dents, broken headlights?
This is getting ridiculous. Next time someone says it's normal pinch them REAL HARD on the arm and ask if they are awake.

What the heck does that have to do with the topic at hand? Are you suggesting this is the first documented voluntary extintion in the history of the animal kingdom? They just went nuts!!!!
That's kind of like responding to a post on the sudden unexplained deaths of thousands of animals with how many people die every day. That would be stupid.
