Bird strikes at ORD

I was passenger on an Embraer RJ inbound on the localizer at OHare
last night (10 PM, about 2 hrs late, another story). Broke out of the
clouds, gear down - 10 sec later full power, gear up, back into the
clouds. Pilot announced that the airplane in front of us had struck a
flock of birds on approach and the runway was full of debris. It took
about 20 minutes to work back around, which was quicker than I
expected given the mess that must have occurred with sudden closure of
a runway after multiple ground stops through the evening.

Can't find any reference to it anywhere today, though.

So, which carrier was serving squab the next day in the first class cabin?
