Bird-Plane collisions up 25%

A recent Associated Press discussed by the Riverfront Times report stated that nearly 10,000 bird strikes were reported last year, which is up considerably from the 7,507 reported in 2007. And that rise is only an average, with some states reporting an increase considerably higher than that.

In some states, such as Texas and Minnesota, the number of bird-plane collisions have doubled since 2005 thanks to an increase in air traffic along bird migratory routes.

…bird-plane collisions at Lambert-St. Louis International airport have increased nearly 300 percent over the past decade.

Hmmmm…maybe these airports need to try Bird-X’s new Airport Bird Control System.

The airport bird and wildlife control system is perfect for this time of year when birds and other animals start heading to their spring and summer spots.

This system is made up of three of Bird-X’s best sound devices and one sensory spray: the Megablaster, the Goosebuster, the Critterblaster and Goosechase. The combination of the four of these makes it almost impossible for birds to get comfortable anywhere around an airport.

Bird Strike Forces American Airlines Emergency Landing in Denver

Bird Strike Forces Emergency Landing

A Boeing 757 was forced to land today (Feb 3, 2009) as a result of a bird strike.  The plane had just taken off from Denver Int’l Airport on its way to San Francisco. Passengers stated that they could hear and feel the collision when the jet hit the bird.

Inspectors found a large dent on the engine casing where the alleged  bird strike occurred. Thankfully the plane successfully performed an emergency landing, avoiding any further damage or injuries.

This is the second bird strike reported by major news sources in the past few weeks. The U.S. Airways Hudson River is the last crash reported and drew a slew of media attention to the issues of bird strikes and airport bird control.
