OT Plane Crash because of Birds
Off Topic, but hardware related.
It's been all over the news about the plane that crashed into a river in (I think) New York. They said it was caused by birds flying into the engine. Then they showed a report of the number of bird caused plane accidents and deaths each year. From 1990 to 2007 there were almost 80,000 accidents caused by birds. There have been numerous deaths and millions of dollars of damages. OK, looking at the engines they showed on tv, I immediately thought ***Why dont they put some sort of screening over the engine*** It would only seem like a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware cloth would solve the problem. Why dont they think of simple solutions like this? Jim |
