On 15 January 2009, a US Airways A320 encountered a flock of birds
shortly after takeoff. Both engines lost power, apparently as the
result of experiencing multiple bird strikes, and the crew was able
to successfully ditch the aircraft in the Hudson River. All five
crew members and 150 passengers survived the accident. The
following day, Dr. Todd Curtis was a guest of Dean Richards on
Chicago's WGN radio. They discussed the US Airways event, how the
public's fear of flying is affected by extensive media coverage of
airline accidents, and what kind of measures could be taken to deal
with the threat of bird strikes.
