Bambi Catches A Flight

And we don't mean that Bambi got on an airplane to go somewhere. No, not a casual vacation flight or anything like that. We mean the deadly, demented, demonic deer actually, physically caught an airplane. Ripped the wheels right off the sucker, too.

Neither the plane's owner nor his passenger were injured when the Piper Arrow four-passenger plane hit the deer shortly after 8 p.m.

"They were coming for a landing and had the main wheels on the ground and the front wheels were still up," airport operations manager Rob Kopp said. "The deer came running up and took off the main nose gear."

The airplane was damaged, with some fuel leaking as a result, and will be repaired. The deer died from its injuries.

And you thought suicide deer were a problem on the roads. This is a whole new phase of the Animal Uprising™. They're going for the airplanes now.
