CHENNAI: All it takes is a little bird the size of a sparrow to bring down a 500-tonne aeroplane.
Minutes after an Indigo airlines flight bound for New Delhi took off from the Chennai airport Friday night, a stray bird lodged itself in one of the aircraft’s engines, prompting the pilot to immediately return to base for an emergency landing.
It was carrying 114 passengers.
