Birds typically fold wings and dive when encountering airplanes,
your theory should do the same...

Since we all have short memories when it comes to what f**kin geese can do to an airplane...AirTran guppy in PHL, I believe 2007:

One more time:

1. The wings of the A-320 could easily handle the weight of 100 people on each wing even IF that wing wasn't being supported by the surface tension of the Hudson River's water. Not to mention the buoyancy of a wing that is half filled with air.

2. The warnings of "NO STEP" that you see on some wings is only for the actual area of the "NO STEP" placard. Those are generally localized areas of inter-wing subsystems that could be damaged by a person standing directly over them as the upper wing's skin will deflect a little. It is NOT a warning prohibiting you from stepping on the entire wing.

3. Jet engines suck in thousands of cubic feet of air per second - think enormous vacuum cleaners. Even at idle thrust they can suck a rock right off a taxiway. That's why airport surfaces are patrolled and kept as clean as possible. The fact that most of the birds were sucked into the engines is no surprise. It's quite normal. Most birds that do impact the nose or leading edges don't leave dents, but they do leave a lot of blood and guts. I assume that any blood and guts would have been blasted away by the impact and scrubbing forces of the aircraft impacting the river at 130+ miles per hour.

Please return to the Kennedy assassination blogs. Thank you.

Carl,
With regards to TruthSeuth: "the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead"...I don't think he'll ever get it.

I'm trying to show you that the media MIGHT BE distracting us. I showed absolute proof of it, and you call it POLITICS?

Give me a break.

Let me guess, I'm going to get banned soon, too?

Not if I have anything to do with it!!

You seem to be the only one speaking truth to power. The Man has been keeping us down long enough, and if your truths are scary, then it's time for brave men like us to step up and bring power to the people!

Either that, or you ARE a tool.

So how do you think those two wings will hold a 100,000lbs aircraft up in the air?

- One pilot (who if I remember posted here in this thread) lived near the crash scene admits he didn't see the plane ditch... didn't hear the plane ditch, but then saw the plane floating. Odd don't you think?

- The only witnesses of the actual ditching were members of the media (who as you know cover all sorts of things up)... example:
"I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water," said witness Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press.
You're right, and what's even more amazing was that no one was able to get video of Bush and Cheney towing that plane down the Hudson to get it in place! And I bet all of those "survivors" were the same "people" that were on the Navy ship that shot down TWA 800, and were also on the United 93 flight that landed Cleveland!

I think you're on to something!

Uh, I mean on something!

It's a conspiracy, TS. Yes, the Men in Black are out to get you. I'd take precautions now if I were you.

100 is the average IQ. Ergo, half the population has an IQ below 100. Late night infomercials are made for this half. The other half are in bed or watching Jimmy Kimmel.

Another college kid looking to make another stupid "troofer" video like "Loose Change.", and he'd like us to provide the data.

Don't feed the troll. Remember, by definition, half the people in this country are below average intelligence.
