geese, that is.


But really, is there really no way we can stop a freakin bird from entering the turbines? It's ridiculous.

Wait, that's an actual joke?

I really made this thread as a 'serious' discussion, and just threw in the 'does it boggle the mind' because we all know who always does that.

You can't prevent bird from entering, but the blades in the turbine are there to chop them up into tiny pieces to prevent damage.

That is not why the blades are there. If they blades where there for it, the plain wouldnt have landed in the Hudson...

Geese are just determined to take down the planes. You just can't fight that level of commitment.
