hahahahahahahaha! what nonsense VA!!!!
you can't determine where birds will fly....
and you can't just by happenstance, turn your plane in another direction, it happens on take off in general....and there are alot of other planes coming in and going out of the airport, there is not just one runway, ya know....?
This is why airports have other means that they use, varrying by the airport's size to keep birds away from the runways....they shoot guns in small airports to chase them away and others have sound blasting devices and other things that have proven to work most of the time....
now why these things did not work on this guy's take off, is the question....but to blame the pilot or air traffic control is silly...
and another thing, haven't you ever heard of the term, "flying below radar"?
Actually, the plane hit this flock of birds at 3000 feet. Any sound devices would not have had an effect at that distance. Usually birds are a problem at a much lower altitude. This was just one of those freak things.
