or power to lift it.


That statement is as idiodic as some things MX says...oh, wait, you
have an "MX" in your sig, too. Go figure, two of the worst trolls have
"MX" in their names.


Oh really, and how do you figure that.


From the photo of the plane as it approached the river and the fact
that he was above 3,000 ft, when the birdstrike occured. I know your
aviation knowlege is practically nil, but an airline usually retracts
their gear by then, just so you know.

Any idea what his altitude was when sh** started happening?


About 3,400 ft, according to http://www4.passur.com/lga.html.

Any more stupid questions, MX?

Yeah dicky, why are you arguing with statements made two days ago, and based
on nothing but speculation?
