A feathery friend met its end yesterday when it collided with an Air China flight on its way from Tianjin to Hong Kong. The Boeing 737 plane landed safely at Hong Kong’s airport at 1:15pm, at which point they discovered a meter-wide hole in the nose of the plane.

Air China Flight CA103 alerted Hong Kong emergency services to the mid-flight collision, and were met by first responders upon landing. Air China released a statement on Weibo with assurances that nobody was injured in the incident (except for the bird, of course.)

Midair collisions between birds and planes (“bird strikes”) are not uncommon for commercial flights. In 2016, about 8 out of 10,000 UK flights experienced a bird strike. They happen most often as the plane is taking off or landing, and only about 5% of collisions do serious damage to the plane.

An average-sized goose will produce up to 50,000 pounds of force when struck by a plane at full speed. But even though they can puncture the exterior of the plane or clog an engine, they almost never result in a crash.

That said, if your plane is unlucky enough to encounter more than one bird, the risks go way up. An Eastern Airlines flight was taken down by a flock of starlings in Boston in 1960.
