Birds Threaten Jets as GE CFY Engines Fail on Ingested Birds
The NTSB urged immediate retests of General Electric CFY engines used on the McDonnell Douglas 601 Airbus A300 and some Boeing 747 jets after a bird strike caused one engine to disintegrate. It called for runway bird patrols and broader bird ingestion tests, noting possible undercounted birds in certification and citing the Overseas National Airways crash as prompting concern.

House unit probes alleged abuses in Marine training
A House Armed Services subcommittee will investigate alleged abuses in Marine Corps recruit training and recruitment practices following two recruits’ deaths. Rep. Lucien Nedzi says the probe will examine reports that sick or mentally unfit recruits were sent to basic training and that abuses stem from nonadherence to directives by recruiters or training personnel. Several lawmakers voiced concern, including Rep. Charles Wilson over the death of Lynn McClure, a 20 year old Marine recruit from Texas, who suffered head injuries during close combat training and died earlier this year.
