Plane covered in blood after unexpected bird strike
Birds are dying in record numbers this autumn by flying full-speed into Big Apple buildings, lured to their deaths by glassy skyscrapers — with the sleek Battery Park City corridor among the city’s biggest death traps.
“We’re still waiting on a little bit of the data to come in, but based on the data that we currently have, we’re already approaching record numbers of birds collided.” The wind and low-cloud ceiling pushed an estimated 25 million migrating birds directly into high-risk areas, including a particularly deadly skyscraper hotspot along lower Manhattan’s Hudson River coastline.Brookfield Place and One World Trade are among the city’s worst deathtraps for migrating birds, with about 100 colliding into the glassy buildings this year.
With the migration season still days away from ending, the NYC Bird Alliance confirmed that nearly 1,000 birds have flown into buildings during this year’s ominously dubbed “collision season” compared to 600 last year.
