Saturday Night Social: Hosted by a Multitude of Slaughtered Birds on the Hudson
LatestEight years ago there occurred a “miracle on the Hudson” when “Sully” Sullenberger (now a major motion picture) managed to safely land U.S. Airways Flight 1549 after colliding with a flock of geese and nearly crashing just three minutes after taking off from New York City’s LaGuardia airport. Apparently, New York City’s airports have been indiscriminately exacting revenge on all bird-kind ever since.
An Associated Press analysis published on Saturday found that since the 2009 “miracle”, bird-killing programs at New York City’s three major airports have slain some 70,000 gulls, starling, geese and other birds. I was not aware that airports typically have bird-killing programs and this alone is terrifying.
