Flight 1549

Back in January, as most of you know, US Airways flight 1549 went down in the Hudson river. It went down because it flew through a large flock of Canadian Geese that blew out both engines. They had only 3000 feet of altitude at the time, and surly 155+ lives would have been lost if it were not for the skill of the pilot.

What makes me mad about this, is what I read today on Fox News:


In recent decades, many bird populations -- including Canada geese -- have rebounded thanks partly to environmental regulations. Air travel has also soared since deregulation in the late 1970s encouraged greater competition and lower fares.With more planes and more birds in the sky, "we have a situation here -- almost a numbers game -- where eventually something is going to happen," said Michael Begier, national coordinator of the Agriculture Department's airport wildlife hazards program. "We're very fortunate that Flight 1549 was not a catastrophe. It is a warning shot."


This is how I read it:
Environmental protection comes at the price of human lives. But who cares? Alot of people could have died that day because the liberals protected those animals so much to the point that it brought down a airplane!! What if people had died that day? You know damn well the fingers would have been pointed at the un-skilled, poorly trained, pilot who probably drank before his flight.


This is the world we live in now.
"Protect the polar bears, Canadian Geese, and the trees because they cant defend themselves, but kill our babies (who consistently are also defenseless) because they are an inconvenience, and destroy our futures, because its in the best interest of our planet.
