According to the New York Post on June 15th, a plane in Ecuador was flying when a giant bird suddenly smashed the windshield and crashed into the cockpit. The unexpected impact left the pilot with bloodstains on his face, but he remained calm and continued to pilot the plane.
This video circulating on social media shows a pilot tightly gripping the control stick while piloting an airplane, with the wreckage of a large bird hanging directly above him, and the bird's huge claws visible. The screen then turned to the pilot, and he could be seen with bloodstains on his face and uniform, but he continued to pilot the plane with a calm expression.

American media reported that the bird that collided with the plane died a few minutes after the impact. Its species is not yet clear, but some speculate that it is an Andean vulture with a wingspan of up to 10 feet.
