Accident: Atlantic Southeast CRJ2 near Little Rock on Apr 1st 2011, bird strike

An Atlantic Southeast Airlines Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N845AS performing flight EV-5087/DL-5087 from Atlanta,GA to Little Rock,AR (USA) with 49 people on board, was on approach to Little Rock about 15nm east of the aerodrome when the airplane collided with a flock of cranes. The crew climbed back to 4000 feet, overflew the airport before safely landing at Little Rock about 30 minutes later. The airplane received substantial damage with a crane embedded in the nose cone.

Arkansas frequently sees Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) and Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis), adult bird weighing up to 17 lbs/7kg with a wingspan of up to 8 feet/2.5 meters.

No. I was helping my mom move some chairs, and whilst carrying one, I stepped off what I thought was the last step of a flight of stairs. Turned out there were three steps instead of one; I literally heard the ligament going "twang". Luckily it didn't snap, and I didn't break a bone.

Still, it's keeping me out of the gym, and increasing my CPI (Couch Potato Index), which is NOT what I want.

BTW, are you at home on sick leave because of that?

You have a good job


That good job moved to China without me back in February. I'm a free agent right now.


I did not know that. Was it a surprise or were you warned?


Well, I had 30 days to choose between a very iffy prospect of finding another position
with the company or a severance package of 3 month's pay. I chose door #2.

Warspite1

Same choice I had in January - I too chose option 2. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I have an interview next week for a new job - fingers crossed. Have you got something else lined up?



A few leads so far, but nothing has panned out yet. Good luck with your interview!

Sorry to hear about the sprain, T, but glad it was not much more serious. Getting old does suck!

Any chance you can get to the gym to do some upper body work to reduce the CPI?

Sweet Jesus...

Our newspapers here in their on-line editions carried news from China about 12 minute traffic camera composite video that captured 100+ deaths is the world's most dangerous intersection (China, Heze City, Shandong). Terrifying stuff... absolutely terrifying stuff....

We here have problems (and that's why I think they choose to go with that story to raise public awareness) but the China footage is almost unbelieving... the drivers simply paid no attention to traffic and traffic lights...

I'm considering doing just that next week, although I'm not sure how I'll warm up; can't get on a bike, cross-trainer or treadmill...

Well, the zombie infantry seem to have kept their uniforms in decent shape after all these years of being dead and all...

They don't have a lot of other things to do when there aren't dumb vacationers around to terrorize.

So, what's a good gaming video card?


Empire runs very well on my GeForce GTX 295, which is hardly state of the art. All settings maxed out, no problem.


Thanks T.
