Planes fly very fast
Commercial airliner windows are chemically strengthened and designed to withstand bird strikes, but it’s not impossible if you’re really unlucky.
See here for another plane with weaker glass: https://old.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/12iqve4/pilot_keeps_his_cool_after_bird_broke_his/ https://old.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/12iqve4/...
- nextworddev 2y agoAh thanks. But even then, there’s two pilots for redundancy, so it would take an extreme event that both pilots got knocked out..?
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoIt won’t be this. People on that forum talk about hitting many more birds at much higher speeds with much less issues. The landing gear should have been deployed before the strike too? Happened at 200 meters I believe?
- tim333 2y agoThat was a light aircraft with a very different windscreen. The ones in airliners are very tough.
