On September 10, 2025, an American Airlines Airbus radioed the Philadelphia International Airport's Tower to inform them they needed to return immediately, citing "multiple bird strikes." The panic in the pilot's voice is palpable, and Captain Steeeve reacts to their emergency return to the airport.
