Part II: NBC Nightly News - Surviving Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in New York City

can't hey put a netting or cone mesh to deflect the birds? something that doesn't impede the air flow but is also strong enough to get thous fuckers out of the way?

[EastCostChronics]

@EdColonThecomedian they have worked on that... it would constrict air flow and would allow ice to form in cold conditions.

somebody did open the rear door..a passenger that panicked did...hence why the cabin filled with water so quickly

[Summonearth]

@TKaussie, no there was a breach at the back of the plane and water flow into the plane.

[TKaussie]

@Summonearth Watch the video 'Flight 1549 Crew on the Late show with David letterman Part 3', the flight attendant says so herself!

[Summonearth]

@TKaussie, okay I see your point, but there is also a breach at the back of the plane that let in more water, that what NTSB said also.

hopefully all the airline take note of this incident to avoid it happen... Anyway good job to the pilot

[goaqys]

As long as birds exist, the possibility of this happening again remains. What a great pilot!!
