Bound for Simferopol, Crimea, the Airbus A321 unexpectedly struck “numerous” seagulls or crows shortly after departing from Moscow’s Zhukovsky Airport. Luckily, there was no blaze on board the ill-fated Airbus and no one died in the incident. Still, 74 passengers – including 19 children – received injuries." outstanding pilots |

Rightly so.
