Plane hits deer
A small airplane struck a deer while attempting to land on the runway of the Bessemer airport in Alabama, forcing the plane to fly on and make an emergency landing in Birmingham. The pilot of the single engine plane was warned about a herd of deer on the runway before a landing attempt on Wednesday evening, said Abe Alibrahim, the airport owner. The plane avoided most of the herd, he said, but struck one of the animals with its landing gear.
