It's a Bird; No, It's a Plane; No, It's Both, Far Too Close Together

Have there ever been any airplane crashes due to birds being sucked into the engines which resulted in human mortalities? Yes, unfortunately, there have been. Here are some examples:

Alaska Boeing E-3 Sentry, September 22, 1995 crash of a United States Air Force Boeing E-3 Sentry, 24 fatalities

February 26, 1973, a private Learjet 24 at DeKalb–Peachtree Airport in Chamblee, Georgia, 7 killed

Eastern Air Lines Flight 375, Lockheed L-188 Electra aircraft, Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, October 4, 1960, 62 deaths
