7 HORRIFYING Bird Strike Crashes You’ve NEVER Heard Of!

Jet engines are some of the most powerful machines ever designed. They can spin up tens of thousands of times per minute with the force needed to push a heavy airliner off the ground and into the sky. And yet, they can be killed in a matter of seconds by something that weighs a few ounces. In this video, we take a look at seven planes that encountered such a threat. There's the full jet of Marine recruits that plummeted into a harbor minutes after take off, the brand new airliner brought down by a swarm of pigeons taking flight from a lake, the wide-body that lost the runway in New York and exploded into flame, saved only because its cabin was packed with trained flight attendants. In each case, it was the same adversary near the ground during those moments when losing even one engine is at its worst.
