people on board. struck multiple birds. we are told at least 40 birds or so are dead. and laying along runway 208. apparently this southwest flight was able to maintain power throughout his climb. he circled around quickly. called in an emergency which we heard through the potomac approach. they quickly handed him backuffa to bwi tower. he took about five minutes or so to get himself set up. and you just saw hill now landing safely on runway 33 at bwi. he has rolled out all the way to the end. apparently no significant damage to the engine that we could tell at this point. but this is what we would call in aviation, a precautionary landing. because he struck so many birds so close to the ground, the pilot decided to err on the side of safety. they have a ground stop at this point. they have a couple of airplanes that are tracked -- stacked up,

getting ready to take off. they cannot do so because of the number of dead birds that remain. it is unclear whether they were sea gulls or canadian geese, which were part of the new york incident. we'll stay on top of this and bring more back to you later. >> at least they're down on the ground. let's check in with bob and a look at our weather. is. >> bright sunshine and low humidity. cool spot in ocean city -- oakland. 82 in cumberland. low to mid-80s. but very comfortable with low dew points. that will continue probably through the rest of the week. but by the weekend, you'll you'll see a big, big change. nice squeeze here out of the west/northwest. continues to bring in very, very pleasant conditions. look like we'll stay on the dry side. just a few patchy clouds. a few out in the mountains now.

working because he had struck so many birds, they decided to come in and make a precautionary landing. the aircraft was turned around quickly. pilot was set up for an approach to runway 33 left. they did make a safe landing. we know that there were 169 people on board. there were no reports of injuries at this time. however, it has caused massich delays -- massive delays. runway 28 has been closed at this time. as you can see, there were jets circling them around the field. using the taxi ways to get them to another runway. so there are going to be delays coming out of bwi thurgood marshall. they have a large amount of birds. apparently we are told 40 or so that they are going to have to clean up from runway 28. and once that is done, they will check the runway to make sure it is clear of birds and allow traffic to return to normal operations. but it looks like right now, a

successful landing from a multiple bird strike on takeoff, southwest jet flight 69. back to you on tv hill. >> thank you, captain mike perry, reporting live. we now go to more breaking news tonight. baltimore county's oldest catholic high school closing its doors for good. towson catholic high school will not reopen this fall. eyewitness news is live. kelly mcpherson joins us live with more on the reasons why. >> sally, 160 families are learning right now that they're going to have to scramble to find a school for their student coming this fall. because the school is not reopening. and basically, the diocese says, it comes down to numbers and money. there were 244 students enrolled this past may. it's now down to 163. they're blaming the economy and the trend of lower enrollment in catholic schools. and it was the parish's decision, at emaculate conception not to reopen because they could not come up
