A giant passenger plane was left with no option but to fly through a flock of birds while attempting to land.
The Air China vessel A320 was slowly descending when the strike happened.
In a video shared online, the plane can be seen colliding with the birds as it nears the runway, as reported by Need To Know.

Some birds can be seen falling, while the rest immediately scatter.
Bloodstains can also be seen on the nose of the aircraft.
There was no damage to the plane and it was able to land safely.
And an investigation determined the engine was in good nick.
But bird strikes have been a major threat to aviation safety in the past, with some causing fires and breaking propellers.
According to the pilot institute, most aircrafts collide with birds during the takeoff and landings.
They said: “And while this isn’t good news, it minimises the risk a little, as these flight phases are when the aircraft is at its slowest, meaning there is less force when a strike occurs.”
The clip was shared to Reddit, where users shared their opinions.
One person said: “Literally a strike.”
Someone else wrote: “A murder you might say.”
Another user added: “At least none of to them went into the engines.”
One person commented: “Damn.”
Baldwin joked: “Move bitches, imma plane.”
The incident happened on Thursday (December 5).
