Jason is a man who has been a pilot for a long time. Over his career, he has encountered several unforeseen circumstances that called for fast thinking to be resolved.
But one specific situation turned him become a hero.
The aircraft that Jason was piloting was abruptly attacked by an enormous flock of birds who were beating on the windows during a recent flight.
Jason was stunned by the image because it was so strange. He attempted to find a way out of the enraged birds, but it wasn’t as simple as he thought it would be because he knew that the passengers’ lives were in his hands.
He prayed that the birds wouldn’t harm the engine while attempting to reassure everyone on the aircraft that everything would work out perfectly.
Sadly, Jason was unsure of what to do next to get rid of the birds as they were only becoming more hostile.
When he called flight control for help, there was no response from the tower.
He decided to head back to the airport since he couldn’t keep the plane under control, but the attacks got so bad that he had no choice but to try a water landing, a manoeuvre he had never done before.
That may sound absurd, but it was the only logical choice this pilot could think of.
The landing was harsh, but fortunately no one was hurt.
When rescuers got to the scene, tugboats were sent to retrieve the aircraft from the water. Although the birds persisted in their attacks, it took some time for the rescue effort to conclude and all of the passengers were brought to safety. The birds persisted despite the rescue personnel’ best efforts to frighten them, and their reason was unknown.
Eventually, an inquiry identified the cause of the bird flock’s attack on the aircraft. It transpired that one of the travelers was engaged in the illicit trade in exotic birds and was attempting to transport some birds.
Jason was relieved and broke down in tears of pleasure when everything came to a conclusion and he realized everyone was safe. He not only averted a disaster, but also revealed a clandestine enterprise.
This is just one more illustration of the difficulties faced by those in the aviation industry.
Jason received recognition for his deed and for maintaining composure while concentrating on making sure that each and every passenger on board was safe.
This individual was solely responsible for ending the illicit activity that was the source of the birds’ odd behavior.
