    2. If it was only a lame duck after getting hit, they might have been able to patch it up with some duct tape. Otherwise, I guess it was duck soup

  2. The duck said he'd pay for the damage. Just put it on his bill.

  3. The Veterinarian who tried to save the duck failed - he was a quack.

  4. It is obviously pilot error: fowled up because the overtaken has the right of way. (By the way, I wonder why the duck has its gear down that far out on final approach.)

    1. But, can't really fault the pilot for hitting it, I guess. It was no sitting duck

  5. I guess after the duck was struck that it went south

  6. I'll bet that duck wasn't squawking anything and air traffic control didn't even know that it was there

  8. In the photo I think I can see a little bit of the duck's beak to the left of its head, and I'll bet that it is just turning back ahead after checking its six o'clock. It knew what was coming, and that's why its asshole is puckered closed so tight
