ROME – An Austrian Airlines flight was hit by a violent hail storm, which seriously damaged the plane. The violent hailstorm destroyed the nose of the Airbus A320 and shattered the windshield of the cockpit. The accident occurred on Sunday afternoon, on thePalma de Mallorca-Vienna route.

When you send off four besties and they end up being „attacked“ by hail , lose half of the cockpit nose and have their front windows shattered prior to arrival. #OS434 Palma to Vienna. Very pleased you all touched ground – alive. Thanks #austrian #aua #airlines< /a> pic.twitter.com/SHOUsUY5Wg
