These birds fly through the vortices of other
aircraft all the time and are designed not
to fall apart.

Admittedly, it's possible, but not terribly
likely.

CAT has shaken and stirred a few birds, but
the stabilizers and engines always stay on
the birds. I can see the shuddering being
caused by the turbulence of the 747 ahead,
but the craft should have emerged intact.

In this case, I'm not sure we'll ever get
the truth.

The preceding aircraft was 8 miles ahead of flight 587. This is 3 miles further than FAA standards require.
