When humanitarian aid becomes ballistic weaponry. Turns out the terminal velocity of a carrot is 147mph (or 65.9 m/s), making it less of a food drop and more of a root vegetable artillery strike.

Just saying, "death by flying carrot" is not the dignified end Australia's wildlife deserves after everything else they've endured.
