NTSB Report on Flight 1549
Preliminary Accident Report FT 1549. Captain held responsible for
unauthorized actions which resulted in crash says F.A.A..
Subject: NTSB Report on Flight 1549
US Airways violated Federal migratory bird regulations by hunting geese
with an A320 Airbus jetliner, claim anonymous government sources. The
pilot of flight 1549, Air Force veteran and avid hunter Chesley B.
Sullenberger, tried combining both of his interests by bagging a brace of
geese over the wetlands near New York's LaGuardia airport after takeoff, on his way to Charlotte, North Carolina.
The imported European $77 million A320 airliner is not certified for either
waterfowl or upland bird hunting, so it was not surprising that the
aircraft malfunctioned. When he realized that both New York and New Jersey State Game and Fish enforcement officers would soon be approaching, Captain Sullenberger unsuccessfully attempted to hide the plane in the Hudson River
.
The crew and 150 passengers were chilled and shaken but unhurt. Most were simply grateful to avoid spending the weekend in Charlotte .
National Transportation Safety Board inspectors rushed to the scene, and
reportedly found no Duck Stamps on the downed aircraft's fuselage. Captain
Sullenberger has not been charged, but is being held incommunicado at an
undisclosed location.
PETA is urging the government to prosecute the pilot for double honkercide and poaching, and the animal rights group is expected to file a civil suit on behalf of the flock. The two victims were undocumented aliens,
according to sources close to the investigation, Canada geese who had
over-stayed their visas. Their goose gang scandalized their quiet Queens
community by squatting in local cemeteries and golf courses, parking on the grass, cooking strange-smelling food and throwing wild parties late into the night. Neighbors say police dogs were called out on several occasions.
Such incidents have triggered a wave of anti-Canada goose sentiment, but at
this time revenge or hate crime motives are not suspected in the US Airways bird bashings.
Forensic examination of the avian corpses continues, and technicians are
analyzing the two cadavers under heat with chestnuts, prunes, and Armagnac.
NTSB inspectors have contributed a supply of testing fluid, a 2005
Zind-Humbrecht Riesling from Alsace . We will update this story as entrees
details become available.
