BBC headline: Turkey plane crashes in Amsterdam

I didn’t think turkeys were flightless (wild, they’re not), so why the plane? Images of Chicken Run came to mind…

Chicken Run

Bad bit of journalese there, I think. Not a great idea to associate plasticine poultry with a plane crash, however unintentionally.

Update: The BBC has updated the title to “Jet crashes…” – much clearer.
