Pics and video at the link:Pilots of a Delta Airlines flight 1889 had to make an emergency landing - without being able to see out of the windshield - after baseball-sized hailstones wrecked the front of the plane.
The hail also destroyed the GPS navigation system at the front of the aircraft, which was flying from Boston to Salt Lake City on Friday night.
The pilots managed to land in Denver - where the passengers could see the extent of the damage to the Airbus 320's cone.
Many said they were lucky to be alive after relatively normal turbulence became a 'roller coaster' up in the air.
