A large enough bird can cause significant damage to an airplane\u00b4s structure, engines, and flight-control systems.

The Boeing 737-700 had just taken off from Dallas Love Field when it was struck by a flock of geese. The bird strike caused damage to the left engine, leading to a loss of power and an emergency landing.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Passenger_Safety\"><\/span>Passenger Safety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Fortunately, the plane was able to make a safe emergency landing without any injuries to passengers or crew.
