An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 struck a hungry swarm of grasshoppers late last week, rendering much of the aircraft’s fuselage a nice smear of brown. It might sound trivial but these grasshoppers are big and swarm in their millions. When an aircraft runs into them, they can block visibility from the cockpit and cause significant damage to the aircraft. Luckily, in this case, the plane landed safely.
