Airplane vs. Zebra with lots of juicy splattery pics

You know you want to see the carnage. Everyone in the plane was fine. The zebra did a little worse..

Yup, there's lots of blood so if that freaks you out, don't click on the link.

It starts out like this:

On Sept 11th at 6:15pm Kenya time on what was to be the very last flight of 5Y-AOT, Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton and David Daballen, our Senior Research Assistant, flew to find Mountain Bull, a very interesting elephant that persists in migrating between Lewa Wildlife Sanctuary and the Mt Kenya forest. Iain came in for finals and saw nothing down the strip, he then eased the control column back for a perfect touch down, and just then a zebra dashed across the runway and ran straight into the propellor! There was a crash and within a split second the occupants of the plane were upside down hanging from their straps. Nobody was hurt and they just scrambled out through the windows, in a hurry in case the plane ignited.

So the Zerbra is dead?

So the "Doc" isn't a good pilot or a good Doctor..

What's with the neat pile of intestines and such? I guess Haggis was on the menu that night.

pssst...

It's spelt Haggis. And although I've made venison haggis, I'd have to think twice about Zebra haggis.

Then again, if you've got the cojones to eat haggis, does it really matter what kinda quadraped donated the goodies?

The good part of the story is that it wasn't Mountain Bull that dashed out across the runway.

I would have thought that the airplane ran into the zebra.
