A Rather Serious Situation

At this point, the situation had developed into one that was rather serious. The aeroplane had a collision with a pair of birds while it was making the turn. It appears that this made them much more agitated than they had been previously.
Now, while the birds were yet in close proximity to the aeroplane, tiny cracks started appearing on the glass windows. The birds remained in a precarious position in relation to the aeroplane.
