Open page. Look for the word "Boeing". Find it almost instantly. Be surprised.
Wait, not that last one.
They're saying there was a bird strike as they were coming in to land. Boeing may not be a factor on this one.
How do birds take out planes?
I remember watching modern marvels and they were showing jet engines being tested by firing frozen chickens into them and they didn't even blink.
I don't know, just reporting what was being said.
If enough (large) birds in flight got into the engines maybe it causes a fire? I don't know though.
