I was up around Hartford CT years ago (around 93' I believe) for business and there was a big to do on the evening news one night about a plane at the local airport (small passenger jet I think) that hit a deer or two on take off and it destroyed their landing gear. They decided to do an emergency landing back at the airport they took off from. The fire department sprayed a bunch of some kind of foam on the runway and the plane landed without any injuries.
