  1. Flightless?

    This BBC headline confused me for a few moments:

    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.
