Thank you, Daeglin, for bringing that classic back to my mind. I kept giggling for a couple of hours after posting that link, until I finally broke down and watched the whole episode again. It was well worth it :)
That show, like Adam-12, while dated is not out of date, if you know what I mean.

It's funny - and maybe I'm the only one who didn't get it right away - but I just this moment realized this was almost certainly a reference to Alice Cooper:
Cooper claims that the infamous "Chicken Incident" at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival concert in September 1969 was an accident. A chicken somehow made its way onto the stage into the feathers of a feather pillow they would open during Cooper's performance, and not having any experience around farm animals, Cooper presumed that, because the chicken had wings, it would be able to fly. He picked it up and threw it out over the crowd, expecting it to fly away. The chicken instead plummeted into the first few rows...

Nope, it's reference to a WKRP episode where Mr. Carlson threw turkeys out of a helicopter at a shopping center parking lot as a promotional event and they all plummeted to the ground, smashing cars and such. Les Nessman, ace reporter, on the scene described it in much the same way as the announcer described the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster.
One of the better episodes of a very good and under-rated show.

Yeah. I was the one who linked to the WKRP episode back in October. I'm saying the WKRP episode was probably a reference to the Alice Cooper thing.
