SUMMARY:
Thanksgiving eve was an eventful time for a plane ride, as described by passengers from the Sacramento airport. I say eventful in not such a jolly or happy way, because this event was the death of an entire flock of geese that hit one of the engines on the side of the plane. Passengers heard an array of sounds and explosions, and most hit their service buttons overhead in an attempt to understand what was happening. Some say that they could see bright golden explosions, and flashes of light as the plane's engine burst into flames. The plane was able to make it safely to the ground where passengers rescheduled their flights for Thanksgiving.
ANALYSIS:
I am very upset and emotional about this because it just shows how much humans and nature are conflicting. Those geese weren't aiming for the engine and I know that the pilots weren't aiming for the geese, it was just an awful coincidence. And the fact of the matter is that it happens way too often, almost 13,000 times in the last year alone. With this many deaths occurring out of freakish situations along with hunting and natural deaths, it's no wonder why animals on Planet Earth are taking a major hit; or even becoming dangerously close to extinction. Something should be done on planes to sense these animals ahead of time in order to avoid this, and to take away one contributor to their death tolls.

Tha's good that nobosy got seriously injured. You are right that we need to try to work together with nature and not harm it. Of course this is easier said than done but it's true. I always thought about stuff like this as a kid but to hear it happened in real life wow
