  • Those poor birds, RIP!

  • There are some people out there that think we should do away with all the birds so that no more people die. I thought the birds were here first.

  • 3 people are bird lovers!

  • they should put automatic fire laser beam when an object like birds are too close to an air plane.

  • @thefsxandREALpilot

    you lose air intake, which means power, so its not efficient.

  • one day when they manage to crack nano technology we will have indestructable engines, many many times stronger than titanium.

  • @thefsxandREALpilot-- I was thinking the same exact thing.

  • Well you see the birds all get sticked on the mesh & don't getta sucked inna ingines. Butz the all the byrds onna meshes stops the airs from gettings inna ingines anna they stalled or stops spinning whicheva comes first & da plane she fly lika bricka!

  • guys this is something i never understood..why dont they put mesh screens over the fronts of the engines???

  • NOWCHECK THIS OUT : MAKE A YOUTUBE SEARCH ONT HIS ::::::::::: Miracle on the Hudson - The Divine Mercy Story

  • @incedius420 The engines supply the air to the cabin airconditioning system so a bird going through the " hot section" of an engine would burn sending the burned bird smell to the air conditioner air supply

  • appear faster than its possible...hm, ok, you're travelling how fast? How is it possible to see a flock and manuver your 700,000 pound plane to avoid them
