I am pretty sure they exhausted all other options before they started shooting.I worked as an aircraft mechanic at a major airline for 41 years at airports all over the US.Airports employ all kinds of methods to deter birds.Killing is a last resort.
At SLC they had propane cannons and a really neat natural method.There are numerous fox dens in between 2 of the runways.
These birds were roosting near the airport and the problem is, they fly to the airport to feed.The large expanses of grass at an airport are perfect for them to hunt for insects.

Sorry, but the B1B crash in Texas was caused by a 20 lb pelican and it missed the engines.
CFM engines are built from components from several countries, GE provides the core, SNECMA the Fan section and turbine section.
The GE plant is in Cincinnati Ohio .
I went to CFM56 school there.
What is BMAC ?
