Info from Licensor: "In Columbus Ohio on April 23rd, I was performing a safety check on my truck and thought the sound of the plane was coming from my truck at first. The plane was flying a bit low. Seeing the fire from the engine and hearing the sound was absolutely chilling. I'm thankful it landed safely and couldn't imagine how frightening it would be to be in the plane at the time. It turns out a flight from Columbus to Phoenix hit a bird and needed to be diverted back to the airport. Thankfully, the plane was able to land safely."
