The Boeing 737-800 (TK2004 flight) Turkish air carrier Turkish Airlines collided with birds during an internal flight. The incident occurred when landing a liner and did not interfere with its successful landing.
However, outwardly the damage looks impressive - photographs of the aircraft with a rumpled nose were published by the microblog @flight_report.
The representative of the Turkish Airlines told Mashable that such damage is often happening, since the aircraft’s nose is specially made relatively soft: this allows minimizing the consequences of frontal clashes with birds.
Many Twitter users were not sure that the bird was faced with the plane. Their assumptions varyed from pterodactyl to a flying donkey (English.).
