| 739177 | 2009-01-16 02:32:00 | Today's air crash opens itself up to a conspirancy theory... I have to wonder if this pilot, with his impeccable record, maybe deliberately crashed the plane under his command into the river? Hmm. |

| 739178 | 2009-01-16 02:45:00 | Why? No one was even hurt. Apart from showing the world his leet flying skillz what reason would there be...? :p | wratterus (105) | ||
| 739179 | 2009-01-16 03:35:00 | No Conspiracy theory - heard on the news it flew into a flock of geese causing all engines to stop, Oh My god suicide geese :horrified Edited: The plane had suffered a “double bird strike” when a flock of geese collided with both engines and were sucked into the turbines. Quoted from This report (www.theglobeandmail.com) Guess you could say their goose was cooked ------------sick joke:groan: FULL credit to the pilots skill - could have been a LOT worse. |

| 739184 | 2009-01-16 11:08:00 | Or is it.... Stupid Pilot. Didn't they see the geese coming? Ir is it.... Stupid blam6. Hasn't got the faintest idea what flying a 70 tonne airliner full of people might entail? Do you think he was fiddling around with the gearchange and didn't see the ducks - even though he was only doing 250 knots at the time? |

| 739186 | 2009-01-16 19:01:00 | :confused: I see the problem started at 3000 ft Can geese fly that high? :confused: The bird strike happened within the first minute of takeoff. They continued up to 3000 ft while advising ATC of of the problem and getting clearance back to LaGuardia |
