It’s a somewhat silly statistic if it’s not presented along with the fact that numbers of strikes are important but have to be weighed against consequences. For example, deer are rarely struck, but it’s a much bigger problem when they are. Basically a small part of the instruction that doesn’t make sense without the rest.
I am happy to know this channel will help me because i am also an employee of the wildlife department at Abeid Aman Karume International Airport Zanzibar Tanzania
“Birds are the wildlife group most frequently struck by aircraft” Well obviously. Birds fly. Planes fly. They’re gonna collide. There isn’t gonna be an epidemic of planes hitting deer or dolphins, is there? Who writes this stuff? This is like saying “food is most commonly eaten during meals”.
If you start thinking like this, you will notice it in every piece of newsmedia and otherwise, available on television, Internet and radio. It is unavoidable.
Very rarely do birds strike aircraft, they don't intentionally fly into aircraft! Its the aircraft that tends to strike the birds as they can't out pace or out manoeuvre aircraft due to the speed. Some species such as birds of prey have been known however to attack slow flying light aircraft, microlights hang gliders when they enter their territory to defend it.
These types of stories by WSJ are a welcome departure from the usual govt screw-up etc. One question: After a bird strike, why keep the carcasses? Who cares? Just toss them and move on. Seems there's too much to this process.
I believe they are kept to be identified, so they can understand which birds are more likely to be hit. It's especially important if they are endangered species.
It’s a little odd that they’re keeping that many samples for so long. I do this as part of my job, and if the bird is obviously identifiable, I submit the report and dispose of the remains. If I need to send a sample to the Smithsonian for ID, it’s sent the same or next day. So I don’t quite know why they are storing that many. I suspect it’s a procedure specific to Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia.
The US has the world's most dilapidated airports and China has the world's most futuristic and modern airports: The Beijing Daxing international airport, Qingdao international airport, Chengdu international airport .. to name just a few.
But that means China airport fees are much more expensive then US airport fees even though average income is much lower. I lived there and wondered why it cost more to fly from China.
This false observation is so very common. "THEY" are not in our habitat! "WE" are in theirs! This is very similar to our complaining about the wolves in "our" habitat of Yellowstone! This is completely wrong! What a pitiful species we are! Best of luck to all of us!
No, humans are at the top and we have the right to do as we please. There are plenty of natural areas for birds to fly to, airports are very small in the grand scheme of things
If Americans and Europeans watch videos of modern airports and thousands of skyscrapers in China, I'm sure they'll get jealous of China to the point of feeling suicidal. I watch tons of drone videos of cities in China every day. A small city in China is bigger and more modern than New York city, America's biggest city.
i could have told you without 20 years of experience that birds are the animals that strike plains the most, and not dogs, sharks or even elephants
Man, i was going to say... Sharks would be way up there for me.
Especially those Sharknados.
@@BroAnarchy Naive sharks?
I mean she did a thorough explanation from start to finish. I learned a lot!

Man getting _paid_ to *_drive around_* honking at birds to leave an airport sounds like my dream job! 🤩🤩🤩
These are great details! Thanks for the report. Very informative.
Wsj .. thy always come up something more informative. Totally love watching these videos.

Wow such a cool topic - I knew nothing about this! Amazing work :)

Lol 🤷♂️
There is an epidemic of planes hitting deer in some locations. It’s not as frequent, but hitting deer is a bigger problem per collision.
But birds aren’t real
what a informative video, good job wsj.
Thank you for all these Hard Work 💪
In Japan they fire blank cartridges, set off fireworks and a whole host of similar actions.
Q: How Do Airports Keep Birds From Striking Planes?
A: They Don't.
Nice video.
How to mitigate it, *clock kok*
"Aircrafts"
Very rarely do birds strike aircraft, they don't intentionally fly into aircraft!
Its the aircraft that tends to strike the birds as they can't out pace or out manoeuvre aircraft due to the speed.
Some species such as birds of prey have been known however to attack slow flying light aircraft, microlights hang gliders when they enter their territory to defend it.
Remember Shellyburg at JFK.
how?cutting trees to make airports and runways and birds don't have place to nest
How about amplifying particular frequencies to deter birds from hanging around?
Engine ingestion...haha...aka bird stew...aka Snarge?!
Omg like that one video where the plane is landing and it runs over a deer and gets stuck on the tire
i have a question
It’s crazy how many birds get killed by airplanes
There's no such word as "aircrafts", it's a singular plural like rice or pasta. You can have one or a hundred aircraft, but not a hundred aircrafts.
waht does mean to have a turbo engine jet aircraft
They just mean a jet engine versus a propeller.
"Sully" fans put your attendance here

I beeped at a bird once too. It was in the road.
more proof. #birdsarentreal
The Wallstreet journal needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress.
So you’re telling me that Spirit has a lot of wildlife strikes?
sending 'snarge' samples to a lab for identification?
what a waste of money...
Except identifying the bird type helps direct prevention measures and reduces the chance a given aircraft is going to have a costly collision.
Those birds are innocent and just trying to find thier way lol. While playing by the rules of course
How bout some foxes
Okay yeah the birds are cool, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF BS W/ THE PORT AUTHORITY AIRPORTS
Learned nothing here
IN SPAIN.
ONLY REPORTS.
ROBER SR.
GOOD.
THANKS.

@@TheVermilliaFamily Great point. I didn't even consider that. Thank you for that information. Be well.

Get rid of EPA. Presto. New airports, quickly, cheaply. Use state enviro laws
But that means China airport fees are much more expensive then US airport fees even though average income is much lower. I lived there and wondered why it cost more to fly from China.
they shoot them😯
Skeet shooting practice
Sometimes, but it’s not the most effective or best way to prevent strikes.

really put in the perspective of how many people are suffering in Shanghai.....thank you for your insight
@@thaveenrubenthiran2190 I agree with you. What's happening in Shanghai is temporary (or transitory as Jerome Powell insisted).
