An Alaska Airlines jetliner hit a brown bear while landing early on Saturday evening, killing the animal and causing damage to the plane, officials said.
None of the passengers or crew members were injured in the accident
The Boeing 737-700 killed the brown bear sow, but a cub thought to be about two years old was uninjured, Alaska transportation spokesman Sam Dapcevich said.
The plane landed after dark and crews followed normal procedures for runway checks.

Brown bear, brown bear, What's that in the air? Smack!!!!!

Underwriter says no deal. Failure to break to avoid a collision. The plane hit the bear (front damage). Now if there was side damage only then it's obvious the bear hit the plane and then you would be covered.

It’s BARELY damaged.
Wrap it with white duct tape, fly home at night and get it in the hanger.
Nobody knows nothing.
Was the bear a Democrat or a decent bear?

Well, not any smarter than the average bear, at any rate...
Looking at the picture, the bear was obviously wearing Kodiac boots at the time of the collision.
