At an altitude of 10,000 feet, an Ecuadorian pilot found himself confronted by an unexpected visitor—a bird that had violently shattered through the cockpit. Despite being drenched in blood, the pilot demonstrated remarkable composure as he skillfully maintained control of the aircraft.

From TMZ:
The clip began making rounds Wednesday, showing some sort of dead massive bird dangling right in front of pilot, Ariel Valiente, above Vinces, a city in the Los Rios Province of Ecuador.
Most shockingly, however, is the fact Valiente keeps the small aircraft in the air ... even turning the camera on himself to show his blood-covered face. He seems pretty unfazed by the terrifying ordeal. The blood is likely from the feathered-creature ... but hard to tell for sure.
Obviously, the people on social media are havin' a field day with the whole thing. While some applaud the pilot for not freaking out, one user said it looked like a scene "straight outta horror movie."
Truly, we must commend the pilot for their exceptional handling of this situation.
It is undeniable that this incident had the potential to escalate into a far more perilous scenario, even for a seasoned aviator. Their skill and poise deserve utmost recognition.
