On January 9th an American Airlines Airbus 300A encountered a flock of birds
at 6000 ft, after taking off from Guayaquil airport in Ecuador. The engine
failed and the plane made an emergency landing 20 minutes later. Question:
I remember seen a Boeing 777 do***entary showing that its engines could take
frozen turkeys with no problems, why could the Airbus 300 not do the same,
thewe birds were not as large as turkeys and were not frozen ???

Hahahahahaha ! No matey, those are the throttles - not the shift lever !


Of course ! It's a *Hollywood* movie. Gotta have excuses for the pyrotechics guys !


They often do this at zero feet I'm told !


On a bad day ? How big was the seagull ?

Did you see what a goose ? or geese even, did to an AA 757 ? out of CDG ? Makes you think.

Hope the crew had a good supper though.

Thank you for that Stan ! It helped me chuckle. :-)

You obviously haven't paid attention to the ones in the White House then.

Sunshine !!!

I stand by the frozen in the turkey comment, I saw this in a do***entary for
the 777. They also exploded loose one of the titaneum asps of the engine
and watched it pass through distorting the outer skin of the engine as it
passed. And yes, the engine continued to work. Impressed the hell out of
me !!

Pablo, you are correct and Graham, though well meaning, is simply
mistaken. He must work for the NTSB.

"As you know, the FAA requires jet engines to survive frozen
turkey injestions. This has made air travel considerably safer
around Thanksgiving." And this is straight from the World's Foremost
Authorities' Authority. See below. BTW, Pablo, have you signed my
SPEEDY GONZALES IS NOT A RACIST petition yet? I hope this helps. WFAA

It certainly does, Jay! You're the only person on this forum I
trust. I re****yzed the video clip today and did a timeline sequence
for Elmer. The bird clearly hit the jet fan before the plane hit the
fence. Amazingly, there was no loud sound when the plane hit the
fence. We'll have to ask Jack about that. The plane just zigzagged
all over the runway with a loud screeching sound, which I assumed was
the brakes. All of the eyewitness reports were suppressed, of course.

There were several amber lights that lit up before the red one. I
had trouble reading them from the video clip. The only one I could
make out was the frozen turkey in engine injestion light - which was
amber. As you know, the FAA requires jet engines to survive frozen
turkey injestions. This has made air travel considerably safer
around Thanksgiving. The only other new info I have is it was runway
13R. I read the sign. That would mean the JFK 15K' runway, not
LaGuardia. Speaking of loons, I called the NTSB about the red v.
amber warning lights in the ****pit. They said the seagull threat
condition at JFK has since been lowered to 'elevated' which is
yellow. I'm still trying to figure out how you can lower something to
elevated. It still sounds better than elevating it to 'lower.' I'd
avoid JFK until I figure the Mondair Flight 21 crash out. Mondair has
never had a crash before.

in the nation, JFK's Runway 22R is still valid in my opinion.

All I know is if it were a bird, its tail was on fire. Firebird? I
have not ruled out a pigeon shitting on the windshield. They look like
fat seagulls but don't soar. Or an Audubon conspiracy. Ornithologists
are worse than terrorists.
