That's freakiin hilarious! Probably scared the Emu S*&t-less! Dang glad they didn't hit the SOB. I'bet it'd be hard to find an A&P guy out there!

Man, if that was the language when they didn't hit the poor sodding bird, what would it have been had they actually taken it out!

I liked the way the Emu dove and slid to the side of the runway! LOL! He (or she?) was sliding into Third Base and a ball of feathers and dust!

Think the Emu needs to review the "hotspots" on his jepps.

Is Head-First Slide Smart Baseball Play?
The head-first slide is faster, according to David Peters, a mechanical engineer specializing in aircraft and helicopter engineering and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

An obvious error on the tower controller's end.

As an Australian I can truly say;
1) not all Australians speak like that
2) DEFINITELY not all Australians FLY like that

BTW; if it hadn't been for his Sh!*#*ty F#*#*cken landing he WOULD have hit the emu! Full points to the emu for a slide any baseballer could be proud of LOL...
