Default Re: AA DC9 incident at ORD Engine explosio

All over the news here. They actually did a pretty good job reporting it without being sensationalistic on air. They said it was possibly a bird, then the reporter went into detail how bird strikes are a regular occurance across the airspace system and often times are not reported.

If you look at the pictures, they taxied off the runway and didn't evacuate with slides. Good deal.

One more thing: Look at picture 15 on the slideshow (http://www.nbc5.com/slideshow/373692...qs=;s=15;w=320). Yeah, that's REALLY the bird that went through the engine. SURE. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
