My wife was on the highway in the Scion xD last night and a bird flew into her windshield while she was going about 75mph. The car had to be towed b/c the glass shattered on the inside and it was a mess. The feather's are still stuck in the windshield.

 

did the bird died?
i dont see blood.

 

Damnn That sucks dude

 

I dont know if the bird died or not. My wife said she heard a squak when it hit but the bird's whereabouts are unknown.

 

damn that must have been a huge bird. I had hit a bird last month or so, and it hit directly in my headlight and nothing happened. I was probably going somehwere around 60mph too.

 

Damn that's crazy!

 

wow... xD's aren't very aero dynamic.

ive hit several birds with my cars in the many years driving but the funniest was when i almost hit a bird in my G35C at expressway speed. the dumb bird didn't hit the car at all, flowed over the hood, over the glass, over the roof, got sucked into the car's vortex and smashed into the pavement behind my car. hahahahaha. and ofcourse got stepped on by the car driving behind me. :D

 

Hit a huge ass crow in a Model A Ford going about forty. The sucker had time to see it coming and was diving for the ground to miss us. He didn't make it. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning eviscerated crow off the front suspension. Could have been worse, i suppose he could have augered into the windshield, talk about un-aerodynamic!

 

SEAGULL for sure - stupid bird. Almost did that with a turkey' scarry pics - not a good way to get hurt. K_C

 

simple laws of physics govern the answer to these questions

since the bird came like a projectile and its speed was quite high

and also ur wife's car had a velocity

the glass particles of ur car flew in a direcn which was a vector resultant of both the velocities
