Birds force a Southwest plane to make emergency landing in Nashville

Birds forced a Southwest Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Nashville on Wednesday morning, one day after an engine exploded on another Southwest plane.

The plane, Flight 577, was headed from Nashville to Phoenix but had to make an emergency landing after a group of birds struck it. The plane landed safely at the Nashville International Airport. No one was injured.

The condition of the birds was not known.

The airline said that the plane was taken out of service and that passengers were being put on different flights.

On Tuesday, an engine exploded during a Southwest flight from New York to Dallas, forcing an emergency landing in Philadelphia. The debris caused a window on the plane to break and, according to passengers, a woman being sucked out of the window had to be pulled back into the cabin. A woman later died, and seven other passengers on the flight were hurt.
