In August, a Ural Airlines Airbus A321 operating a scheduled domestic flight in Russia was forced to land in a field shortly after takeoff after a double bird strike and engine failure while the airplane was in its initial climb. Of the 223 passengers and seven crew on board, only 10 passengers were injured, but it could have been worse.
