Birdbrained federal bigwigs quietly shrunk the safety zone around a high-traffic La Guardia Airport runway to make way for a massive trash facility -- a bird magnet that will put airliners on a crash course with engine-clogging fowl, The Post has learned.
By secretly reducing the zone, officials will allow flocks of garbage-grubbing birds to swarm within a half-mile of the runway -- setting up another possible "Miracle on the Hudson" that may not have such a happy ending.
Canada geese were blamed for killing the engines of US Airways Flight 1549 and forcing Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger to land the jet in the Hudson River in January 2009.
