It's being reported that the crew radioed the birdstrike info. Of course we all know how reliable media reports are, so...

Anyone else tired of hearing Mary Schiavo and her constant speculation. In a couple of minutes she managed to talk about financially strapped airlines being watched for mx to older airplanes having higher crash rates...can't stand her.

Granted not airliners per se, there have been two AWACS (Boeing 707) airplanes lost to birds:

Re: Breaking News: US Airways Jet Crashes in the Hudson Riv
so the question is... how many birds it takes to bring down a plane??.. I mean.. We´ve seen videos of engine sucking up masive loads of water and some birds on test runs...with nothing happening to them.. and suddeny... a whole airliner down for a bird parvade?....
They must have been some pretty freking heavy birds...no?
