Daylight VFR Incident Takes Out Deer With #2 Engine

Even among the civilized environs of Baltimore, the likes of an innocent, hard-working, Boeing 737 are not safe from the hazards of trespassing fauna... as a Southwest 737 took on an interloping deer and may lost the battle but most assuredly won the war. The incident occured in daytime VFR conditions and the extent of the damage has yet to be disclosed. Though most assuredly the impact was bad enough for the incursion to deserve the standard intonation of... (repeat after me, everyone), "that will leave a mark."
