Saudi Arabia Soccer Team (Plane) On Fire

Players of Saudi Arabia’s soccer team had a scare when the 12-year-old Russian Airlines Airbus they were on caught fire in mid-air yesterday. They were on their way to the World Cup for this Wednesday’s game against Uruguay when flames and sparks could be seen under the right wing. After making an emergency landing, the team Twitter account confirmed they were all safe.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the fire started when a bird got sucked into the engine. If you happen to love birds, no worries, because I heard the little guy is expected to make a full recovery.

Also, I guess this really isn’t big news, because this is just what planes do?
