YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An Austrian Airlines flight landed safely in Vienna Sunday after a powerful, surprise hailstorm tore away part of the airplane’s nose and left the cockpit windows covered in cracks.

Austrian Airlines flight OS434 was headed from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to Vienna, Austria, when it hit a “thunderstorm cell,” which according to the airplane crew, was not visible on the weather radar, the airline told The Post on Monday.

“As of now, the hail has damaged the two front cockpit windows, the aircraft nose and some coverings,” the airline said in a statement.

Photos show the severe damage, which includes the front windshield covered in cracks. While the front windows were heavily damaged, they remained intact for the rest of the flight.
