Bird sucked into plane engine at Orissa airport

Bhubaneswar: A small bird brought an Indian Airlines plane to a shuddering halt as it was speeding for take-off from Orissa’s Biju Patnaik airport this afternoon, but all 121 people on board were safe.
The bird, which hit the plane’s engine and got sucked in, however took its toll on the tyres. Four of them deflated as the pilot suddenly brought the airbus to a halt.
The plane later taxied to a bay near the terminal building and the passengers got off.
The aircraft has been sent for a check and repairs.
