How Birds Can Cause Jet Plane Crash
According to Bird Strike Committee USA, more than 200 people have been killed as a result of bird strikes since 1988.
The incidents are serious when the birds are sucked into a jet engine and strike an engine fan blade. The impact displaces the blade and causes the blade to strike another blade and a cascade can occur, resulting in engine failure.
