The reported incident with the VP's plane that was supposed to carry Pence to Washington after a campaign event in Gilford, New Hampshire, has reportedly ended well, but the way it was earlier described by Fox News immediately went viral.
As pool reporters suggested that the forced return may have been caused "by a bird strike", Fox News initially reported it as a "bird attack", causing netizens to screenshot and ridicule the media company, alleging that birds that "attacked" the plane containing the vice president might have been "Democrats", "Antifa" or even "a pterodactyl".
Some users, though admitting that anything is possible in 2020, nonetheless mocked Fox News for their choice of words.
Others rolled out their own examples of what is actually a bird attack, even recalling the famous Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds".
After Air Force Two returned to the regional airport, Pence and his staffers were said to have boarded a White House cargo plane to return to Washington.
No official comments have followed the incident.
