Russians have said it was a miracle that no one was killed when the Ural Airlines Airbus 321 struck a flock of gulls on Thursday, disrupting its engines and forcing it to land less than two minutes after it took off. The plane took off from Zhukovsky International Airport carrying 233 people to Simferopol in Crimea. More than 70 passengers were treated for injuries following the emergency landing but nobody was killed.
“I wasn’t scared,” he told reporters in Yekaterinburg where Ural Airlines has its training center. “I saw the cornfield in front of me...I tried to minimize our vertical speed to ensure a soft landing.”
