Delta flight from Florida with 43 passengers on board makes an emergency landing at JFK Airport after bird strike completely caves in the nose of the plane.
A Delta flight from Florida was forced to make an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York after a bird strike damaged the front of the aircraft.
The Airbus A319, which was carrying 43 passengers, was en route to nearby LaGuardia Airport from Palm Beach on Monday evening when the incident happened.
The front cone of the aircraft, which protects the plane's radar equipment, was bent out of shape when it was hit by a flock of birds, this prompted pilots to make the emergency landing.
The Airbus managed to touch down safely at JFK around 19hrs, 7pm local time. No passengers or crew member were injured in the incident.
