Commercial Airliner Strikes Bird During Takeoff, Damage Forces Return and Landing

News Link
A plane damaged by hitting birds is a very rare occurrence. In this case a huge dent in the nose was not as serious as incidents in which birds are sucked into the jet engine and destroy it. The most famous case was the miracle landing on the Hudson River in 2009 in which all the engines were disabled.  Here is a gallery of incredible photos of the rescue.
