A group of 12 year olds have come up with a cost effective way to help prevent bird strikes
SALT LAKE CITY — A group of four Utah tweens has been nationally recognized for inventing a device to scare away birds from planes. (www.ksl.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I guess I am no longer stunned by the injection of politics and irrelevant opinions into the most mundane of topics. Folks, these kids did something cool. They tackled a real world problem and came up with a solution. They and their teacher should be lauded for working for safer aviation in the public interest. This is actually what makes America great. It has nothing to do with PETA, cynical and dismissive opinions that the invention is bunk or cockamamie "better" ideas. It's about THE KIDS and their effort not about you and your verbal gas and hot air. Grow up, people, or at least think before you press "Post".
Well said Scott. I couldn't agree more. I think it has to do with "imagination". Some people don't have any anymore. Encourage and promote it. That's where great things are born.
well said Scott!!
Scott - I agree. That said, PETA did end the "dogs chasing birds from the airport". If I recall it was an "unfair advantage for trained dogs" or some such shit. Then, as I said the excuse was 911 and credentials to be on airport property (a property most of us dog owners were on all the time anyway as we were/are also owners and or aviators).
Now, as for this scare crow...that is great and all. But not every kid is a "winner" and this simply is not a "winning" idea. I suppose they do deserve trophies though. I mean, what kid with a pulse does not deserve a trophy? :-)

Huge difference between a trophy for participating and these kids Recor10. They used critical thinking skills and teamwork to tackle a problem, please be positive.
I would - had they only tackled a problem....
the words used in the article as a description, state the device is "tough,cheap and mobile"..i think its great these kids are attempting to find some kind of solution to an ongoing problem..even if you think its ridiculous or will not work for whatever reason (after all, birds were here long before airplanes!)at least give them credit for wanting to do something ..more adults should have that attitude..
