US investigators said yesterday that they have found the remains of what may be a bird in the engine of the US Airways jet that made a dramatic landing in New York's Hudson River.
The National Transportation Safety Board said an examination of the Airbus 320's right engine revealed evidence of "soft body damage" and that "organic material" was found in the engine and on the wings and fuselage.
Samples of the material have gone for a complete DNA analysis, the board said.
A single feather was found attached to a flap track on the wing.
