Bird strikes UA flight near Denver
ABC reports that a United Airlines Boeing 737 struck a bird as it began its descent to Denver International Airport at about 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
The flight was arriving from Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The pilots, aware of the strike, declared an emergency but the flight was brought in without incident.
The as-yet-unidentified species of bird ripped a large hole in the nose cone of the aircraft.
None of the 151 passengers or the flight crew were injured.
This April, a Delta flight taking off from JFK for Los Angeles hit a bird and had to go back to the airport.
In 2009, US Airways’ now famous Captain Chesley Sullenberger landed Flight 1549 safely on the Hudson River after a bird strike of Canada Geese disabled the aircraft. All 155 passengers and crew survived.
Sullenberger told CBS in April that airports are trying numerous ways to decrease the possibility of bird strike including new radar systems. None of these solutions have eradicated the problem which Sullenberger says is "a problem that will be with us for some time."
