   Today an Ural Airlines Airbus A321 (VQ-BOZ) operated flight U6178 between   
   Moscow Zhukovsky Airport and Simferopol International Airport, Ukraine. During   
   take-off, the aircraft suffered a bird strike on both engines forcing the   
   pilots to crash land in a corn field just behind the runway.   
       
   The aircraft carried 226 passengers and 7 crew members, emergency slides were   
   used to evacuate the aircraft. Sources say that between 10 and 15 passengers   
   or crew members with minor injuries have been reported.   
       
   The airline confirmed the accident stating that a large flock of birds hit the   
   aircraft's engines and that the aircraft made an emergency landing.   
       
   The crew members of the Ural Airlines flight and route from Moscow to   
   Simferopol that crash-landed in the Moscow region shortly after takeoff from   
   Zhukovsky International Airport have been suspended until a probe is over, the   
   air carrier's spokesperson told TASS on Thursday. "The crew members have been   
   suspended until a probe is over. This is normal practice", the spokesperson   
   said.   
       
   On videos from passengers that were filming during take-off, it clearly shows   
   that seagulls hit the Airbus and that the aircraft didn't have enough power to   
   gain height.
