An Air Canada flight with 170 passengers on board landed safely early Thursday morning after striking birds during its descent to the Ottawa International Airport. Records on flight tracking website Flight Aware said the plane landed around 12:30 a.m. She said she could smell smoke in the cabin just after the apparent bird strike, but she didn't see any smoke. Passengers only found out it was a bird strike once the plane was on the ground. Brazier said once the plane was towed to the gate, everyone got off just like a regular landing.
