Maintenance has suffered throughout the force since sequester and has affected reliability and readiness.

It is crazy. Imagine if a Canadian helicopter crashed into a residential neighborhood in New York and killed a couple people. We would loose our collective shit, and rightfully so. The entire US military needs to figure its shit out, we got birds going down and ships running into ships killing sailors...

You make your statement hyperbolic when you add 'and kill a couple of people'. No one died in this incident.

SN Greg Wright - I never said it did, I just gave a hypothetical. Birds malfunctioning over any sort of populated area cause a risk for those on the ground and that's why the Japanese government is so concerned.
