A pilot in Brazil is being praised for his calm response to a vulture crashing through the windshield of his plane… and expertly landing on the ground rather than letting the situation spiral into total madness.
Just look… the pilot calmly and coolly begins his descent into the Brazilian city of Eirunepe… even as the carcass of a dead bird dangles in his face.
The bird, which appears to be a local vulture, has clearly died; he remains lifeless and bloody as he hangs from the shards of glass from the shattered windshield as the wind blows through it.
While the pilot appears bewildered by the ordeal, his co-pilot appears less surprised… blaming the disturbing crash on a landfill next to Eirunepe airport.
Despite the pilot’s expert response, his co-pilot admits it was all a close call… suggesting that, at worst, the situation could have had a much darker ending.
According to local reports, there were five people on board the small plane at the time of the incident, which occurred on Thursday.
The single-engine flight – which reportedly took off from Envira – landed without incident or injuries.
As they say…keep calm and carry on!!!
