Comments:Report blames 747 crash at Brussels on bird strike

There is a spectacular bird strike avoidance system called Falco-robot gbrs,made and commercialized by Bird Raptor Int.S.L. (www.birdraptor.com).Many airport are using this system and.....really it works!!

I see...
Birds are waging a war against airplanes... Amazing... The best excuse since "my dog ate my homework".

Birdstrike or pilot error?
Yes, there was a birdstrike, but the decision to abort takeoff 6 seconds after V1 is questionnable.

It seems to me that pilot error could be in cause in this accident.

bird strike in Brussels
strange: my first ever flight, a Capitol Airways 707 from Brussels to JFK was delayed one day after an aborted take-off due to a bird strike. This was in August of 1973. They brought in another plane.
