A Southwest Airlines flight leaving San Diego was forced to turn back around after striking a bird Saturday morning. The plane was headed to Oakland when the strike happened. The strike happened right at lift-off. In one passenger's video, the pilot is heard telling everyone onboard, “a lot easier to pull over close to San Diego than do it at 40,00 feet all the way in Oakland.” Shortly after, the pilot of Southwest Airlines Flight 2922 told passengers they hit a bird. “When we took off, there were birds that we saw on the left and right side of the runway but it’s not a really long runway, so when we continued to take off, I think we hit one of them," he said.
