Confirmed: Birds Still Rule the Skies.

Yesterday, US Airways Flight 1549 ditched in the Hudson River in New York after a bird strike  (poor suckers fly right into an engine and get really screwed up inside what with the fans rotating so fast). This plane crash on water was executed by Captain Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger III (I thought we had wicked names). Apparently the bird screwed up the engine so bad that it stopped working and the plane had to be landed immediately.

Kudos to the Captain.
