Why is it that there's always someone "who asked not to be named" featuring in stories like this? It's a birdstrike, for goodness sake, not a rape trial!
Love the way the chopper is also always flying "too low". I've been on the recieiving end of reporting like this in the past, it makes my blood boil. Nuts to the seagulls, I say. Were they broadcasting on the appropriate frequencies?
