Bird strike sparks emergency on Inverness flight - BBC News


Clouted a burd(s?) on departure. Assuming it was a suspected ingestion if they decided to RTB.

On its website, Easyjet apologised to passengers for its flight returning to its airport of departure "due to birds hitting your plane".

If I was a bird I might argue that their plane hit me...

If they can prove that, maybe the bird's family will sue EZY!
