the px should be required to take the crew out for dinner and drinks.

Are you kidding?! The pax are lawyering up and getting ready to sue US Airways, the pilots, the pilots' estates, and the flock of geese that might have been responsible for this accident. That's how this sue-happy nation works. Look at the Continental accident. Even though all pax were alive, many have sued.

Better to have not hit the birds, or the news. They should have delayed the takeoff.

Pretty stupid post. You are an idiot

I guess you have never flown out of LGA? Birds are everywhere. Let's just be happy that nobody got hurt. Kudos to the Captain. Excellent work by the crew, front and back.

they are tying it off to battery park city. opposite direction of lga. they wouldn't do a very good job fighting the current back to lga nor fitting the airbus through the harlem river.

Maybe some reserve guys could sail it back to France for repairs?

Sorry for the dumb comment Landlover I really do appreciate the first hand info from your Uncle.

Any word if the birds are ok?

Do you not watch the news? They said no casualties. I always thought an aircraft engine would chop up a bird: I guess not. Apparently this goose was not cooked. Thank god everyone survived.

Holy crap that was funny. Nicely done.

But seriously, VERY nicely done by the flight and cabin crew!

Whose the resident birdstrike expert here?

The odds of a flock shutting down both engines is almost astronomical.

Fat floats. Didn't you see the first-class passengers floating away on the flight attendant's back?

Unless, that is, you takeoff into a flock of birds.
