Following yesteday's crash into the Hudson the New York Times  has hosted this article about birdstrike and planes.  It may be of interest to members of the list.

As usual, the comments range from the interesting to the insane.  My favourite - hopefully humorous, otherwise well into the insane wavelengths of the spectrum-  is  "I say capture some geese, waterboard them, find out who the chief geese are , and then invade Iraq."
