Greece, since you’re capable of embedding tweets where I am not, can you share Steven Adams tweet with the picture of the nose of their plane?

They claim it was a bird but I find that hard to believe.

Here is a similar bird strike damage to the nose cone of a Turkish Airlines plane.

Because they protect sensitive instruments while allowing electronic signals to pass through, nose cones – also known as radomes – must be made from specific materials. These materials often include fiberglass, quartz, honeycomb and foam cores; as well as various chemical resins.

Why? At the speeds a plane travels nearly any impact can make a major dent, especially in an area with lots of soft/hollow material.

tp


without offense, I never understood why people who don't have knowledge in a subject input their opinion. I think it's bad because it spreads misinformation and conspiracy theories and builds irrational fears of planes. That is a common dent. The front is soft composite materials. The plane could fly with its nose cone completely off

I keep seeing people thinking the plane was in complete danger because of this dent. That isn't rational. Asking bill nye about a dent in a plane is silly too

Speaking of tweets, Sacramento's account posted this while they were losing by 31 to the Wiz.

I like their account, might be posting more stuff from them in the future.

Mostly because of the size of the dent. I doubt they hit an ostrich up there.

Been a Celtics Fan since 1981 and honestly did not know that Chuck Connors was a Celtic.

Wow, really. The Rifleman is Celtic lore. He was the first player to ever shatter a backboard.
