Wind, Birdstrike

S15 E2: Unless your hobby or business is affected by the wind most people ignore windy weather warnings. Catalyst explores the power of the wind –what wind speed takes a roof off a house? Pushes a car off the road? And lifts a person from the ground?- Most people’s fear of flying stems from thoughts like, how does this massive craft stay in the sky? Or will there be an engine malfunction? Do we ever think about a bird striking the plane? With about two thousand reported bird strikes in Australia every year it’s a very real threat, and although the chance of the plane crashing is rare, damage to planes is common.
