According to the FAA of the Federal Aviation Administration, there are over 14,000 bird strikes every year at airports in the United States, which means that a bird rushes into the aircraft and crashes. Most accidents are accidents, but sometimes they can cause significant damage.
However, the bird strike that occurred on the US Air Force’s A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter bomber was devastating. Three bombs were dropped above Flora. Fortunately, the bomb was a training dummy, a mock bomb.
The course of the accident is like this. It occurred during training in the southwest, 86km away from the base at dawn on July 1st (local time). It is not known exactly how the tidal impact led to the bombing. However, the bombs were three 11kg BDU-33 training bombs designed for the 226kg M1a-82 bomb. If it wasn’t a mock bomb, the results would have changed greatly.
The U.S. Air Force is not sure where the exact location of the drop was because it was an accident. Of course, the authorities are guessing around 2km west of Highway 129. In addition, citizens are warned not to directly judge and respond to this mock bomb if it is found. It is for training purposes, so it does not explode, but it is said to be dangerous because it has a device that explodes even with a small amount of flame. In any case, the fact that bird strikes could lead to bombing can be quite shocking. Related information can be found here .
