        Passengers on the flight said they heard and felt the vibration caused by turbulence immediately during the takeoff sequence, too soon for a bird strike. Bird strikes also don’t usually look like this.

        cw: animal death

        They’re usually either going to bounce off and leave a pink splatter or smear, or will be heavy enough that they caused more substantial damage at a single point, along with a red smear.

        We can’t rule out a bird strike without an investigation, but this doesn’t seem likely to me.
