Famed talk show host Oprah Winfrey was not injured when her Gulfstream Jet took off  from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. The plane was initially reported to have been struck by a bird which caused the windshield to crack. Now reports are that it was wear and tear that caused the incident. The plane will be grounded until repairs can be made.

Officials now say that it was wear and tear, and not a collision with a bird, that damaged the windshield of Oprah Winfrey’s private jet and forced it to return to the city airport. “There was no bird involved, but the pilot did tell my captain that he felt it was a fatigue thing with the glass,” Battalion Chief John Ahlman, a Santa Barbara City Fire Department spokesman, said Tuesday of the previous afternoon’s incident.
