US Airways flight 1950 pilot: “There’s a whole herd of deer. It looked like a bunch of them. I don’t know how many we hit.”

Controller to unknown pilot: “Deer just got hit on the runway…it was about a dozen deer.”

Unknown pilot: “Oh dear.”

Clearly, wild animals like US Airways planes a lot. [ABC News]
