Ever since the Miracle on the Hudson US Airways flight a few weeks ago, the National media now is reporting each and every bird strike on a commercial airliner. Again this morning, the Today show had photos of a flight which departed Denver yesterday and had a bird strike, reportedly an "eagle", without documentation.
How much longer will it be before PETA starts protesting commercial air traffic and calling for an end of the airlines? Of course, PETA will have to fly in the airport protesters first.
