A JetBlue aircraft that took off from Westchester County Airport Tuesday night was forced to make an emergency landing after two geese struck the plane's windshield, according to officials. Flight 571 was bound for West Palm Beach when the birds slammed into the front of the plane, prompting the captain to return the aircraft to the gate as a precautionary measure, said officials. No injuries were reported out of the 54 passengers and four crew members on board.
