TRIVIA 0000068: 

Did you know that in year 1987, Alaska Airlines 737 collided with a fish mid-air?

On March 30, 1987, an Alaska Airlines 737-200 that lifted off from Juneau had a close encounter of the aquatic kind, colliding with a large fish. The fish was gripped in the eagle’s talons that had crossed flight paths with the plane. The eagle must have decided that playing “chicken” with a 737 wasn’t going to end well, and quickly changed direction.
