Thankfully, the Hanoi-bound plane landed safely, reports Zing, carrying 145 passengers from Buon Ma Thuot.
In photos posted on Facebook, the aftermath is a little gory, featuring a blood-streaked crater on the nose of the plane. The front of the aircraft was dented as a result of the head-on collision. Aviation authorities later confirmed the incident.

Once passengers disembarked, VietJet dispatched technicians to repair the damage, causing a 30-minute delay for the next flight. Thanh Nien also reported that the aircraft's radar system was damaged, however the issue has been resolved.
