O'Hare Gets Bird Tracker

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Jan 27, 2009 5:25PM

In the wake of the Miracle On The Hudson, Chicago's O'Hare is taking a step forward in the War on Fowls. Within six weeks, O'Hare will receive a special radar used for tracking flocks of birds. Such a radar would allow flights to delay or re-route flights to avoid potentially hazardous flocks of birds, like that which brought down the U.S. Airways jet a few weeks ago. You're on notice, Hekyll and Jekyll.
