Plane hits bushpig on take-off

AN airline has been criticised for not knowing what to do after one of its planes hit a bushpig on take-off. Air Zimbabwe had "no disaster response strategy" and its personnel "did not have a clue" of what to do. Secret police arrested two passengers for taking pictures.

NASA Chicken Gun
The (misnamed) NASA Chicken Gun is one of several large diameter compressed air cannon used by the Federal Aviation Administration and US Air Force to test the strength of Aircraft Windshields and the safety of Jet engines. A common danger to aircraft is that they collide with birds in flight. Most parts of an aircraft are strong enough to resist such a bird strike. Jet engines may sustain serious damage, however, and cockpit windows are necessarily made of transparent materials and are a vulnerable spot. Testing to see what the risks are is required.

Where's the chapter on bushpigs on runways? Specific problems need specific solutions, damnit.

Or perhaps a large BBQ pit near the point of no return...

"Rotating" simply means raising the nose of the airplane while rolling down the runway for takeoff.

Rotisserie is a style of roasting where meat is skewered on a spit - a long solid rod used to hold food while it is being cooked over a fire in a fireplace ...
