A flock of geese was slaughtered by an Alaska Airlines flight, almost bringing the blood-splattered plane down mid-air and forcing it to make an emergency landing at a Cincinnati airport, a National Transportation Security Board review concluded Wednesday. At least eight Canada geese were shredded to pieces when they were either struck by, or vacuumed into, the plane last month, the NTSB confirmed in its official report. Alaska Airlines flight 2616, an Amazon cargo flight bound from Cincinnati to Hebron, Kentucky, turned tail while in mid-flight, back to its origin, after reports of a dangerous bird strike on Jan.
