Termyn8or -> Plane down (1/15/2009 7:31:06 PM)

Two pages already. But I wanted to bring something else up anyweay.
We can't even defend ourselves against a flock of geese ? Now think about that for a minute. Now hopefully there won't be a bunch of armchair conspiracy theorists giving us real ones a bad name, but there is little likelyhood of there being any big investigation. These things do happen.
Now the thing is, this is a source of danger, and even if nefariousness is discounted, someone should probably look into preventing further occurrences no ? I don't necessarily mean our nanny, errr, government needs to enact more laws, I mean the plane company and the airline are probably quite unhappy about this.
Now I fully understand why it is so hard to do, because of the volume of air those engines need, designing anything like a filter is quite problematic. Hoever it is the US way to solve problems, well it used to be. As such I have a thought. I am not saying it is easy, but after putting a Man on the moon, space stations and inventing color TV (yes that last one is ours) I think between now and the next one we should be able to figure out how to solve this one.
So, I hold in my hand a 7.62 X 39 mm. round and am examining the shape of the bullet, with a cigerette, hang on. Put the round down, not the smoke. Anyway I am looking at the shape and I think if they can make sort of a cage mesh in that shape, perhaps even longer, they might deflect these terrorist geese. There would have to be an infrastructure to keep the shape after repeated hits of course, and the thing is not likely to be cheap, but what odds you want to give me that the plane in the river now is ever going to fly again ?
Pragmatist, realist or whateverist, there is probably no adjective to quite describe me. But I am a problem solver, and I think there is a solution to this problem, it just hasn't been found yet. It doesn't take a flock of geee to damage a jet engine all the time. This is not the first time, the difference here is both engines went dead right now. Lucky they weren't out in bumfukt the Atlantic ocean somewhere.
Actually I am not inhuman, I am glad (last I heard) that everyone got out alive. It's nice to see people get their asses to safety rather than trampling each other like at a Walmart Black Friday.
I just still think there is a soution to this problem.
