This looks worse than it really was. But damnit looks bad994 Archives right?
Members of the Oklahoma City Thunder were greeted by a surprising sight when their charter plane landed in Chicago in the early hours of Saturday morning: a giant, ugly dent in the plane's nose.

The aircraft, which landed safely when all was said and done, "likely encountered a bird," according to a Delta Airlines statement shared with ESPN. A happy ending for the team, but not so much for that poor bird.
With a dent of that size, you'd think it was a rough ride for the Thunder. Not so, according to a team official. The flight was "a little rough," according to ESPN, but not in a way that left everyone aboard alarmed.

While the damage looks significant, the nose of most passenger-bearing jets is not as sturdy as you might think. In truth, the weatherproof enclosure -- called a "radome" (a portamanteau of "radar" and "dome") -- holds the plane's radar antenna. And clearly, it's easily damaged when some poor bird collides with it in midair.
Still, what a jarring thing to see as you're exiting a plane.
