I recall the testing of the Eurostar's windscreen in the event of striking an airborne creature at 186mph, by firing small chickens at high speed.

Scientists were baffled as to why the windscreen did not stand up to the tests and totally failed.

Turned out that the chickens were not fully defrosted
