According to Alaska Public Media,
An Alaska Airlines jet struck and killed a brown bear at Yakutat’s airport on Saturday evening.
The Boeing 737 was slowing down after landing when the flight crew noticed a sow and a cub crossing the runway, according to a statement from Alaska Airlines. The bears passed under the plane, and the captain felt an impact to its left side. He noticed the dead sow 20 feet off the center of the runway while taxiing. None of the crew or the six passengers were hurt, but the left engine covering of the plane was damaged.
