What happens when an aeroplane hits a bird? This.

The United Airlines flight was able to land safely, despite having a big hole in it.

A UNITED AIRLINES Boeing 737 landed safely after colliding with a bird in the US this week.

The flight from Dallas to Denver hit the unfortunate avian on its descent, leaving the plane with a dramatic gash in its fuselage.

None of the 151 passengers or crew were injured, USA Today reports. But look what the bird did to the plane when “the man-made machine collided with nature” (thanks, newsreader):
