A routine commercial flight landing at one of the busiest air hubs on the U.S. East Coast took an unexpected turn on Sunday afternoon, when a United Airlines passenger jet made contact with a light pole along the adjacent New Jersey Turnpike before touching down at Newark Liberty International Airport. Federal transportation officials have since launched a full investigation into the collision, which surprisingly resulted in no injuries to anyone on board the aircraft.
