And of course, had the engine not shown any problems a few days earlier then it would have ploughed through the enormous flock of geese with out incident.

It's like saying I had a hole in my car exhaust pipe repaired 3 days before I got hit by somebody jumping a red light..

One passenger, Steve Jeffrey, from Charlotte, said the noise "sounded like the wing was just snapping off".

I'm sure if the wing snapped off, they would sure know about it. Perhaps not as loud as this T7, but still...

Non story to me anyways. Everytime an Airbus takes to the sky the airlines are gambling

When pilots are trained to fly an airbus they are told they don't need to know how the aircraft systems work, just how to operate them. However they stress the fact that the pilots are still pilots, despite the "work tables" they've installed in the cockpit. Promotes complacentcy

Video did show the right engine was stalling on take-off, but only after the same video showed a goose getting sucked into the same engine, which I would imagine may clog your intake of air just a tad. Roll Eyes

Anytime there is an accident, the media and lawyers dig into that aircraft, pilot, and airline's past to find any dirt they can. Shocked

Oh no, that plane had a bad paint job 35 years ago, that definitely caused it to run out of fuel today. Roll Eyes

Yeah, I'd like to see that too... linky plz? Grin

I think the biggest problem with jets and turbofans eating birds is that even a modest-sized bird can mess up the compressor stage enough that the engine then starts eating pieces of itself... not good... but sure, stuff enough geese in there and it may just get clogged.

This is America, you don't need a logical reason to sue. Expect a lawsuit from PETA any day now suing Airbus, US Airways, and the pilot for killing those geese. Hell, maybe they'll sue the passengers as well.
