Swans SMASH Into Plane Seconds After Takeoff, Forcing Emergency Landing

It was absolute flight chaos recently when a TUI plane was left with no choice but to make an emergency landing.

 

The plane was struck by two swans on the windscreen, giving rise to a lot of blood and poor visibility. The pilots made a quick decision to turn the plane around and make the emergency landing as passengers described the horror in detail.

One person mentioned how they were just in awe in terms of what was going on there. The flight and the three swans ramming into the front of the jet had people talking.

Some said the force was just as much as a car hitting a concrete wall at 30 mph and the impact was major.

The animals hit so hard into the fuselage that they peppered it with the holes. Despite the plane successfully climbing 1000 feet above the ground at Gatwick Airport, the decision was made for a quick turnaround. The pilots reportedly issued the call for Mayday immediately.

The force also cracked the windscreen and it had to be met with an escort on the runway due to the aftermath that arose.

Harrowing images showed blood splattered all over the exterior of the aircraft while others showed chunks of glass missing from the front. The brush with the two giant swans prevented the pilots from pressuring the plane, which is a major stage for any flight.
