A FedEx cargo plane made an emergency landing at Newark Airport in New Jersey Saturday morning after a bird strike caused one of its engines to catch fire, an airport official told Fox News Digital.

Dramatic video shows the plane banking right when it lets off a large plume of smoke as fire appears from its right engine.

Eyewitnesses said that they heard a loud explosion too, while another can be heard in one video frantically yelling, "Oh my God, oh my God."

Bird strikes are so dangerous. Unfortunately, they can't be blamed on Trump or Musk.

It was a Canadian goose. Turddoe blames Trump for killing the   bird.

I hate Canadian Geese.  Obnoxious critters.  I had a stand off with one on a road in Illinois.  Would have mowed that mother down, except I figured there would be some Prickster law that would have thrown me under the jail.

Canada Geese are edible...Unlike liberals (presumably, I've never tried one, nor would I--Liberals, that is.)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'd guess I 'd eat one if things got bad.  I remember my grandfather telling me that there was a time back during the Depression, where even Robins got kind of scarce, due to backyard hunting, and broiling.

Never had a Canadian but I can tell you with certainty that a Snow goose isn't worth the trouble.
