Maybe one touched the power line and created some sort of arc between the birds?

OP’s source on YouTube has a comment with the following quote. No idea if it’s actually from the Guardian.
>”Why exactly does it happen? The jury is still out, but the most likely theory is the tightly-packed flock was reacting to a predator. Smaller birds like blackbirds are preyed on by larger birds of prey, and the sight of such a predator will send the flock into a frenzy. The entire group darts towards the ground, and the unlucky few on the bottom will slam into the ground, often killing them instantly.”
>“This looks like a raptor-like a peregrine or hawk has been chasing a flock, like they do with murmurating starlings, and they have crashed as the flock was forced low,” ecologist Dr Richard Broughton told the Guardian.
That seems like about the only plausible reason that that many birds would be both so densely packed and falling out of the sky. This part is my speculation: they were all flying close together for protection from the predator.

Probably there was a bird of prey attacking up above them and scared the whole flock down , some hit hard tho

The neighborhood cat will be telling stories to his grandkittens….”Yeah, one day….I am walking buy the corner and just like that it is raining starlings….the sky was black with them, then they just started raining to the ground….I feasted like a lord.”

Gentlemen … You had a hell of a first day. The hard deck for this hop was **0 feet.** You knew it, you broke it. You followed Commander Heatherly below, after he lost sight of you, and called no joy. Why?
