Russian airline’s Airbus 321 crash landed in cornfield in Ramensk near Moscow, Russia luckily without fatalities.
The Ural Airlines Airbus 321 was travelling to Simferopol in Crimea when it hit the flock of gulls shortly after take-off, disrupting its engines.
Twenty-three people were injured in the incident, which saw the plane land with its engines off and landing gear retracted.
The plane had 233 passengers and crew on board when the birds were reportedly sucked into its engines and the crew immediately decided to land. The plane landed into the cornfield about a kilometre from the runway at Zhukovsky International Airport.
Russian media compared the incident to the US Airways flight that carried out an emergency landing on the Hudson River shortly after take-off in 2009.
