bird strike

Into the sky the metal eagle soars
The roar of the four turbines lifting its wings
Higher higher it lifts
Its wheels detract
Sliding into its belly

Flying up up to its destination it turns
To it final direction
inside its fragile passengers sit patient waiting to their destination to reach
A flock of birds

Collision strike into its engines they seek
Fragile this metal bird power lossed unable to sustain flight its engines now batterd broken it will go down
captain glides his fractured plane a runway to find

Time now ticking emergency to land
No runway in sight lots of burning fuel
Not enough power to the airport to land on the hudson it must

With the gentlest care the captain controls this metal bird with ease it lands smooth on the water it glides
Onto the hudson it lands a floating boat is not onto it metal wings its passengers pour
Waiting for rescue,they wait the fragile bird just about floats


Boats arrive to the rescue they are saved
