NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Delta flight from JFK Airport to the Bahamas was forced to return to the airport after hitting a bird moments after takeoff Wednesday morning, according to the FAA.
Delta Air Lines Flight 1907 returned to the airport around 9:45 a.m. Wednesday after the crew reported a bird strike, officials said.
When the strike happened, the plane was en route to Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas.
Jeremy Settle, a passenger and news director at WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, said everyone on board was "really calm."
"It seemed like a normal takeoff," he said. "A little bumpiness as we were climbing, and then, about five, six minutes into the flight, we started banking. It didn't seem unusual really."
He said that the captain then said, "We're going back to JFK after a bird strike."
No injuries were reported in the incident.
The FAA will investigate.
