    One would have to ask, what was the car doing up that high in the first place ?
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    How fast was the car going? The average bird doesnt go that fast. If we say the bird was going 100 km/hr (unlikely) then the car was going at least 150 km/hr.

    G'day mate,

    Notice the car's rego? It's German, so the Autobahn, and (in places) no limits (insert demonic grin here).

    Bird's probably just flappin' from one side of the road to the other, when

    The clean up bill would have been a real wallet tearer. And the there's the car to clean as well

    Cheers!

    Looks like the Mythbusters have been using their chicken canon again
    Lucky the bird hit in the centre of the windscreen. A bit either side and it could have killed the driver or the passenger

    Back in the '50s or early '60s I was a passenger in a Pioneer coach that hit a kookaburra. Kooky finished up in the aisle of the bus in a state of shock, but the windscreen was completely shattered with a hole in the middle.

    Fortunately the driver managed to pull up safely, but needed a smoke or 2 to settle his nerves.
