The article says “live turkeys” were tossed out of the plane.
A while back there was an article about a team of testers trying to test the survivability of some jet plane windshields against large birds. They asked another team with experience in the area what they should do. The guys said they get frozen turkeys and use a “turkey canon” to “shoot” them at the windshields to see if they are strong enough to handle impacts at the expected relative speeds.
So they do the test and find that all of the turkeys are blasting through the windows like a bullet through a plate glass window. They ask the other team if they are doing something wrong and the other team asks, “did you thaw them out first?”
“Oh. Never mind...”
:-D
Good joke.
