CSI gone mad:
The pilot reported the plane hit a flock of birds shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport which shut down both his jets.
This engine and the right engine, which remained attached to the Airbus A-320 after the Jan. 15 ditching, will be shipped to their manufacturer, CFM International, in Cincinnati for thorough examination by safety board investigators. Both engines will be completely torn down to examine damage, and advanced equipment will be used to search for organic material not apparent during visual inspection. The safety board also said the left engine had dents on its inlet lip and broken and missing guide vanes.
Earlier this week, the safety board said the right engine also revealed evidence of ''soft body damage'' and that ''organic material'' was found in that engine and on the wings and fuselage. A single feather also was found.
The board sent samples of the organic material to the Agriculture Department for a DNA analysis.
I'm sure that the family of the goose in question just wants closure.
