Delta flight lands at JFK after bird strike

UPDATED 7:15 p.m. EDT: An airplane flying from New York to Boston was diverted on Thursday after hitting a bird. The passengers on the flight did land safely at Boston on Thursday afternoon, NBC affiliate WHDH-TV reports.

One passenger on the flight said she instantly saw her life flash before her eyes — as a frequent flier, the passenger knew almost instantly that there was something wrong.

“We were taking off and it felt a little strange. It felt like the plane was going much faster than normal and then all of the sudden there was a really large thump,” said Alice Ting. “ they’re just lifting the wheels, but then there was a strange smell.”
