Flew out from the luggage compartment, the bag crashed into the propeller of the plane

An emergency occurred on Let L-410 flight from Chaiten to Puerto Montt, Chile. During the flight, the baggage compartment door came off, causing one of the passengers' bags to fly out of the plane and crash into the right propeller.

The pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft, safely return to the airport and make an emergency landing. It is noted that none of the 18 passengers and crew members were injured.

Aerocord airline explained that the plane's door came off due to a bird that collided with the plane in the air. However, one of the flight participants, Luis Aguila, wrote on social networks that the baggage compartment hatch was initially poorly closed. The carrier notified local aviation authorities about the incident.
