"Jetliner probe finds possible bird remains; Sample from engine sent for identification" by Joan Lowry, Associated Press | January 22, 2009
WASHINGTON - Investigators said yesterday they have found the remains of what may be a bird in the engine of the US Airways jet that made a dramatic landing in New York's Hudson River.
It wasn't all chewed up?
The National Transportation Safety Board said an examination of the Airbus A320's right engine revealed evidence of "soft body damage" and that "organic material" was found in the engine and on the wings and fuselage. Samples of the material have gone to the Agriculture Department for a complete DNA analysis, the board said.
A single feather was found attached to a flap track on the wing and will be examined by specialists at the Smithsonian Institution.
So the government and authorities claim.
The pilot of Flight 1549, Chesley Sullenberger, reported a "double bird strike" and a loss of power in both engines before bringing the plane to an emergency river landing last week....
Reminds me of Atta's passport floating through the fireball and down to the streets of NYC on 9/11!!!
