Dumbest Things You've Heard about the US Airways crash

[JoelT]

Ok, I dont want to sound like the dumb azz that I sometimes can be,,,,Would one of you airline guys tell me why they couldn't come up with a stainless mesh screen to put on the intakes of these engines. I used to run some Garrett's on a few ag planes and they all had a little screens in front of the intake. I dug several birds out of that thing. Be easy on me.

At the speeds we fly the bird would hit the screen then a.) punch a hole through the screen and keep going or, b.) hit the screen and take it through the engine as well.
