#WATCH My colleague and Tv9 Kannada political editor Pramod Shastri and @DKShivakumar just survived a mid air catastrophe, when a bird smashed into the Helipad window, shattering it.

Their reaction tells you what they must be going in their mind when it must have happened? pic.twitter.com/V4GHOlOm0S

While on our way to Mulbagal, our helicopter met with an accident, in which my fellow passengers were injured.

Thanks to the wishes of all Kannadigas, I am safe, and I thank the pilot for his quick response in making an emergency landing.

Travelling to Mulbagal by road now. 🙏
