The plane crashed/made a safe landing in the Hudson river after which lost all thrust after a collision with a flock of geese shortly after takeoff.</p>
<p>Obviously the simplest way to prevent another almost-catastrophe would be to kill all the geese. Officials will launch a gas attack on as many as 2.000 Canadian geese. After the geese are caught they will be killed on an off-site location using CO2 gas.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure both <a href="http://www.panda.org/">WWF International</a> and <a href="http://www.peta.org/">PETA</a> have been looking forward to this announcement.</p>
