Perhaps the most famous bird-plane strike occurred in January 2009 when a flight from New York’s LaGuardia Airport almost immediately flew into a flock of Canada geese, knocking out both engines. Pilotguided the powerless jet into the frigid Hudson River. All 155 people on board survived the incident, which was captured in the 2016 movie “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks.

At the Charleston airport, wildlife-plane incidents vary each year from a few to a couple dozen.“Anytime a plane hits a bird, it has to be inspected, and it causes a delay in the flight,” Keyser said. “And sometimes you don’t make your connecting flights. So that’s how important it is to keep everything going smooth.”In 2022 alone, there were five airplane strikes at the airport involving bats. In December 2000, a plane collided with two deer after landing. The tip of the right engine propeller blade separated and punctured the plane’s fuselage, seriously injuring a passenger, according to the FAA.

Spry needed a bit of cheering up. In addition to having a fear of flying, Spry’s 15-year-old cat was euthanized the previous day after being diagnosed with an inoperable condition.The beginnings of the Bermondsey Beer Mile date to 2009, when craft brewer The Kernel opened the first brewing site in the area. Since then, the Mile has sprung up in piecemeal fashion. Breweries change location or close, replaced by new ones.

Many of the breweries have found wider success and moved on after outgrowing the space limitations of the railway viaduct arches. But there are always new bars and breweries cropping up, offering live music, table tennis and even skateboarding. The bustling atmosphere shows that 16 years on from its launch, the Bermondsey Beer Mile is still one of London’s best drinking destinations.People queue to enter “It ain’t much, if it ain’t Dutch” Dutch Taproom on the Bermondsey Beer Mile in south London, Saturday March 8, 2025.
