An unidentified bird smashed into a United Airlines Boeing 737 as it descended into Denver International Airport (DIA) Tuesday morning, leaving a giant gash in the nose of the aircraft.

Despite the mid-air collision, Flight 1475 landed safely at 9:09 am and was escorted to a gate on the B concourse. The plane was traveling from Dallas/Fort Worth to Denver.

The plane's pilots were aware of the bird strike and declared an emergency. They reported damage to the jet's horizontal stabilizer and airs peed indicators, but it had no bearing on the landing.

Airport officials said the bird crashed into the plane about 25 miles outside of DIA's property.

None of the 151 passengers on board was injured, Christen David, a spokeswoman for United Airlines.
