You'd think that a bird strike would be news.

Posted by Mop (200 lbs) (aka rburriel) Oct 19 '13, 09:52

A flight from Dallas to Sydney had to land at LAX after hitting a bird on take off late last night. All the passengers got put up here at the Hilton. Can't find anything in the news about it.

They had to bring them all the way out to Anaheim? -- nm - Meg Oct 19, 10:33 3
- Yeah, crazy. They were talking about 4 bus loads of people coming down the I-5 at 2am. - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 19, 10:34 2
  - The QF 747 seats between 300 and 400 people -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 10:36 1
    - Heh, yep, I guess it's not easy to find that many open beds at that time of night. -- nm - Meg Oct 19, 10:54
bird strikes are common -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 10:16 1
- In the first quarter of 2012, there were 1,090 reports of bird strikes. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 19, 10:33
unless it was a double bird strike and they landed in a frezing river, people aren't interested - znufrii Oct 19, 10:09
If they made it from Dallas to Anaheim, it wasn't an 'emergency'. They were in the air for a few hours at that point. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:07
