US Air type in the Hudson?????????

[exagony]

Chris Matthews that MSNBC tool has stated twice that crash was because of a "bird attack" What a maroon.

One I know of off-hand. 2 out of 4 engines ....Alaska E-3 AWACS, No survivors. Canadian Geese. 1995

Wolf asked why they just don't put screens on the front of the engines...OMFG.

I'm no engineer but what would a screen look like that could completely stop a 20 pound bird going 200mph. Could any air actually go thru it?

The level of ignorance is staggering. Walking talking morons with absolutely no feel at all for the physical world in which they dwell.

BTW...nice job!

That's only used for deicing....


Job well done to the crew.

Not sure if that was a joke or not, but uhmmm..might want to check your QRH on that one...haha


Either way, great job by the crew....

Someone will be on TV tonight saying birds should be banished.

Either that or demand that airplanes be banned so they don't kill birds.

Ask the pax if the pilots make to much money........

Doesn't US Air charge extra for water?

I guess normally there is a charge for water, but on this flight, the water was Free, not 'fresh, clean' water, but free.

KUDOs to the Pilots and F/As. EXCELLENT JOB.

Nice landing Captain, a little bumpy, but NICE.

If you're gonna ask for a raise learn how to spell.

It's 'too' much money. Be part of the solution...not the problem...

Excellent job by pilots and F/As!

CNN's Chris Matthews just twice referred to the birds attacking the airplane!

I recorded it on my DVR and will have to figure out how to transfer it to youtube.
