Fenerbahce Plane Makes Emergency Landing After Bird Hits Windshield

Fenerbahce's Europa League trip to Manchester took an interesting turn when the team's plane hit a bird and had to land in Budapest, Hungary.

The team, which features former Premier-Leaguers Robin van Persie and Martin Skrtel, posted this on Twitter:

Kafilemizi Manchester'a götüren uçağın camına kuş çarpması nedeniyle, uçak Budapeşte'ye zorunlu iniş yaptı. Endişe verici bir durum yok. pic.twitter.com/tYhUWp2omJ

Included in the message is the phrase "There is nothing alarming."

I don't know about that.

Good thing the bird(s) didn't get into the engine. Then Fenerbahce would have had to fly all the way to New York and land on the Hudson River.
