Holy smokes! CNN is reporting an airliner went down in the Hudson
after departing LaGuardia. I heard something about birdstrikes, but
can't imagine a double engine failure due to that(?) They sure picked
a cold day to go swimming... Hope everybody is ok...


Bird strikes are a leading cause of engine failure. Jet engines don't
often fail all on their own.


You're a moron
