Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I feel like I've heard WWII stories about some specific bird flying into plane engines a lot, but I would have thought the machine design now would guard against that....
So far, it sounds like everyone got off the plane OK.
an expert pilot on the air said Canadian geese can do a lot of damage
And American geese are chopped liver?

Wow -- the picture on the front page of the Times website is all people standing on the wings of the floating plane. Cool.
Scary stuff about that plane! I was a kid when Flight 191 went down at O'Hare--the photo at that link has been burned in my memory since then.
IObamaN, the Chicago Reader has a collection of stories from their archives, including a profile from 1995, when he was running for his first state senate seat. That 1995 profile is interesting--it mentions the Annenberg project in passing (the one where he met Ayers), as well as his work with ACORN.
The picture on Gothamist.com is good, too.
