Did you hear about the Delta MD 80 that had a bird strike on take off a few days ago out of ROC. They lost an engine made an air return and landed safely all 150 people on board back safely. Or the CAL 737 that hit birds on final into EWR recently. They lost an engine and made a single engine landing. Again all 150 on board back safely.
Of course you didn't hear about those incidents. How many more of these have happened that don't get the national media attention.
I guess you have to put it into the Hudson to get the media circuit.
