United Airlines suffer a bird strike



United Airlines A-319 on short-final suffer bird strike 

United's originated flight 2182 departed Chicago's O'Hare (ORD) Airport hub on time at 14:01 CT, heading for a 799-mile flight to LaGuardia (LGA) Airport in New York. The flight overall was routine, with the aircraft heading towards an on-time arrival.



The Airbus A-319 with 124 passengers and six crew on board was struck by a bird on a short-final to LaGuardia on Runway 22.



The bird impacted the nose of the aircraft; however, it did not affect the airplane's ability to complete landing procedures safely. It arrived on Runway 22 before disembarking passengers at Gate 45 on time at 17:22 ET.




The only damage noted on the United Airlines aircraft, registration N829UA, upon arrival in New York was a dent in the nose of the airplane. Mechanics at LaGuardia worked to remove the blemish from the plane, and it was ultimately returned to service about 20 hours later for a flight to Newark Liberty (EWR) Airport at 14:14 the next day.



The good news from the bird strike was that it occurred late in the flight and did not impact passengers landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The aircraft was still able to arrive on time. However, the passengers using the same airplane the next day for a flight to Newark Liberty Airport experienced a 44-minute delay.

Speaking to GB News, royal author Angela Levin claimed that Meghan will be "in charge" of Harry if the Duke begins life as a "part-time royal".Angela, who is a major critic of the California-based royal couple, said  "Anything that he [Harry] does here, Meghan will control, she controls him, she holds his arms, she doesn't let him move more than three inches.” The royal expert continued, “And if he comes, if he wants to get a place in Kensington Palace,  it would be an absolute disaster because they will be manipulated by those two. I mean, half of them are global warriors and half of them are terrible victims."  Angela Levin went on claiming: "She will control it - it will be lots of phone calls, lots of telling him what to do. She has to b...
