US Airways - NYC Incident


As a guy who flies to work every day, this kind of thing alarms me of course. I would never even speculate, or pretend to have knowledge of the possible cause. For the uninitiated, I never think about this stuff at all when I'm in a plane. I probably will tomorrow night when I leave SDF to go back to MDW.

But it would seem at this point that the flight crew did a very professional job of managing this. My faith in their training has been strengthened. The emergency responders handled things in a professional manner as well.

I'm not so sure I have the same level of confidence in the GE engines. The FAA is considering a bird strike.

Here's an image of the actual ship, taken at San Diego.
