Alaska Airlines 737 hits bear

Poor bear :(

Unbearable news.

Now I appreciate why a few years ago the pilots of regional airline Provincial airlines flew our SAAB On a shirt tour to inspect the runway for caribou before landing , at Churchill Falls. (ZUM ) . Glad in the Alaskan case no passengers and crew were injured .

I have a feeling that this will happen more often in the future. I was amazed to see a bear that had been hit by a vehicle on I-85 in South Carolina. With more encroachment of people in their habitat, wildlife are bound to enter areas that one might not normally see them.

Hard to see bears in the dark, at 180kts. Bears can't read "No Trespassing" signs. Actually surprised this doesn't happen more often in Alaska.

I bet the bear wasn't the only thing brown in this story lol

Mama bears teach their cubs where to eat and hunt. Too bad this one won't be able to teach her cub where not to walk.

Big Bird smacks down Big Bear . Ouch

Will PETA be boycotting the airline due to animal cruelty?

Bow THAT was a barren landscape.

Welcome to Alaska. :D

made it my profile picture for the time being

Try posting to the Aviation Herald website

I have a picture of the bear but not sure how to post it.

Two videos of unrelated stuff and not a single picture.

Poor Bear, she just "Barely" missed her flight!
Sorry, couldn't resist!

I guess the pilot couldn't get their BEARings that day

I guess they did their BEAR minimum to keep him alive

Get a large box of road kill helper. The village will eat good for days.
