November 13, 2001 Investigators Find Signs Bird Strike May Have Caused Crash of Flight 587 By SCOTT MCCARTNEY Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Investigators examining one of the separated engines from American Airlines Flight 587 found foreign debris inside, indicating that the engine may have ingested a flock of birds and then caught on fire. The engine burned internally, people close to the investigation said. But its parts appeared intact, except for the damage from what is known in aviation as "foreign object debris,'' or "FOD.'' That would suggest that the engine didn't suffer a catastrophic failure from some mechanical breakdown, but from sucking in birds, these people said.
