My dad works for a company called lufthansa , He works on the engines. Enough birds could take down a plane. Must be some real bad luck to have a flock of birds at both engines but a flock of birds into an engine could bring it down. I haven't heard anything about this but im sure it would be on the news or something
Thats what they said on the news: the engines are designed and tested to withstand a frozen turkey that is shot into the motor. My information on the flock of birds (canadian geese) was on the FOX NEWS BROADCAST.
If I was one that plane, the first thing I'd do is buy a powerball ticket.
