Feathered Fiends Continue Assault On Airplanes

Birds are increasingly attacking aircraft in the United States and it doesn’t look like they’re going to lessen anytime soon with reports of bird strikes way up: 10,000 in 2009, a 30 percent increase from 2008. Since Captain Sully averted disaster on the Hudson and became an American hero, officials have reportedly been paying more attention to the “significant threat” that birds present, so there’s probably no need to worry. |Philly|
