A Boston-bound Delta Airlines flight had a brief, but frightening, setback Saturday night when it had to make an emergency landing due to a bird strike.
The plane, flight 1399, was leaving Miami International Airport when it struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff, per reports. Since the creatures appeared to hit one of the plane's engines, the flight immediately returned to Miami. “Delta flight 1399 from Miami International Airport to Boston Logan International safely returned to Miami shortly after takeoff following a reported bird strike to one of the aircraft’s two engines," Delta said in a statement, via WSVN. "The flight will continue on shortly, as planned. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
The flight did resume its planned route, arriving at Logan International Airport in Boston two hours behind schedule, according to USA TODAY.
