Alaska Airlines flight aborted after eagle strikes engine
SITKA, Alaska - An eagle was sucked into an engine of an Alaska Airlines jet as the aircraft was taking off from Sitka, Alaska, on Sunday, causing the flight to be aborted.
Seattle-bound Flight 68 was approaching takeoff speed when the eagle was ingested into the left engine shortly after 10 a.m. in Sitka. None of the 134 passengers or five crew members was hurt.
