I don't believe a bird brought down the plane that crashed into the Hudson

birds don't make sounds like that. not at all.

Also, the passengers on the missing planes were teh same passengers that were "kidnapped" by the government from the planes that were supposed to have flown into the towers. Of course, we know that those passengers never died initially, because they never hit the towers. But the government needed to find a way to get rid of them, before they started talking.

This damn pilot ruined their plans though. Just wait till these guys start talking. Oh man...

But wait... the pilot had to be in on it because he said from the cockpit at the time that it was a double bird strike. He wouldn't have said that and then saved the plane unless... they must have been holding his wife hostage and forcing him to say it was birds instead of charges and, at the end, he just couldn't sacrifice all those innocent lives for his wife. Sob.

 
It was obviously a plot by the George W Bush administration to have another plane crash in NYC and thus scare the people into keeping George W Bush on as president for another 8 years to help fight more terrorism. /P&N
 
I think it would be humorous if someone created a video with a goose dressed as Bin Laden and was taking credit for the attack, cursing us Americans for invading their domain...


.. but only because no one died.

I just don't know. What seems more likely to you?

What seems more likely to me?
Canadians launching backs of bacon via catapult as practice for their impending (but ultimately doomed) invasion. One of those got sucked into the engine. They're just trying to keep it quiet so we don't riot knowing the Canadians are gunning for us.
That seems far more likely.

(Fixed - Canadian bacon doesn't come from the side)

I was semi-joking earlier today when I noted that how freakin hard is it to avoid a flock of geese? They fly in a big v-formation. Even at 400mph, you should be able to correct upwards or downwards 10 feet so as to miss the geese. If the pilot is a "hero" and incredible pilot as people are claiming, then he should have missed the birds in the first place. Well, as most cases of losing both engines results in tragedy, we can assume that he IS in fact talented enough to miss a flock of geese.

But, if the geese were flying toward the jet & were trained to fly toward the turbines, the geese would be able to correct their altitude just as quickly as the jet. I think you're onto something.

Uh, broken turbine blades banging around in a partially destroyed engine would make quite a bit of noise.

What are you confused about?

Do you have any idea what a bird does to a turbine engine? lol
 
This thread is pretty sad, really.

What would be the purpose of a conspiracy regarding this? Any plane crash is a bad plane crash. There's no such thing as "bad publicity is still publicity" when it comes to plane crashes.

Everyone involved in the airline industry strives to prevent them at all other costs. Who would benefit from it?

Birds taking out both engines is the most likely scenario. If you want conspiracy, the farthest it could go is that maintenance on the engines was neglected and they came up with the bird story to cover their asses. But that would quickly be ruled out about 5 minutes into the investigation...

The world isn't rocket science... Just use some common sense.. lol
 
Has an autopsy been done on the birds to see if they were even alive at the time of impact? Perhaps terrorists took frozen Canadian Geese and fired them at the plane from cannons in an attempt to bring down the plane and have the blame placed on Canada, thus causing a war between Canada and the U.S. I bet our supposedly peaceful neighbour to the East has Geese of Mass Destruction hidden away somewhere...

The jews obviously. They're the ones who faked 9/11, right? They had to have a hand in this. 😉
 
I heard that the US warned to Jews not to be on the airplane. That's why there were no Jews on the plane. Its all they're talking about in Israel.
 
I believe that bird(s) hit the engine, what i don't believe that both engine got hit. I am thinking that this is likely pilot error in shutting down the wrong engine the first time. When alarms continue going off, pilot shut down the correct engine but the first engine failed to restart which result in pilot making an emergency landing.

Look at the CN Tower. It is so obvious!

so?.....planes crash all the time...I am sure there will be another one tomorrow...who cares.

Kinda sick of hearing about it really...the only reason this is such a big fucking deal is because for the last year it has been nothing but the economy, Bush/Obama, that damn kid in Florida or the middle east....the news needed a shot in the arm because people are sick of their constant bullshit day in and day out.

I am guessing here, but I think zinfamous was being sarcastic.
 
Ok people... I've actually worked on airplane turbo prop engines. Pratt n Whitney pt6's to be exact. The turbine principal is the same but the prop turnine engines use the last turbine to drive the prop. Small rocks (pebble size) do terrible damage to the turbine blades... Pit them up good. Anything bigger can shatter them, make the turbine compressor unbalanced and literally fly apart. They only spin at tens of thousands of RPMs... Think your tire shakes when it is unbalanced? Or your kitchen fan? Flock of birds in engine bring it down? You bet it could

Bird strikes that causes simultaneous failures on both engines? I just don't buy it.

And I bet you thought the treadmill would keep the plane from taking off, too...

Quite the opposite. Read the original thread.
