A pilot in Brazil is being applauded for his calm response to a vulture crashing through the windshield of his plane … skillfully touching down on the ground, instead of letting the situation turn into a total cock-up.
Check it out … the pilot calmly and coolly begins his descent into the Brazilian city of Eirunepe … even though the carcass of a dead bird dangles in his face.
The bird, which appears to be a local vulture, is clearly deceased — as it remains lifeless and bloody while hanging from the glass shards of the shattered windshield as wind gushes through.
While the pilot appears stunned by the ordeal, his co-pilot seems less surprised … blaming the upsetting crash on a landfill located next to the Eirunepe Airport.
Despite the pilot’s expert response, his co-pilot admits the whole thing was a “close call” … hinting the situation could’ve had a far darker end in a worst-case scenario.
According to local reports, 5 people were on board the small aircraft at the time of the incident — which took place on Thursday.
The single-engine flight — which reportedly took off from Envira — touched down without incident or injury.
As they say … keep calm and carry on!!!
