A bear was killed after an airplane landed on it in Alaska.
The Alaska Airlines flight was attempting to land on a runway at Yakutat Airport on Saturday evening (14 November) when it struck the brown bear.
According to officials, the sow died following the accident, but its cub is said to have been unharmed.
Crew had reportedly cleared the runway shortly before the plane was due to land, with all procedures said to have been properly followed.
Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities spokesman Sam Dapcevich said no wildlife were seen near the runway ahead of the landing.
