ThomsonFly 757 bird strike & flames captured on video



Uploaded by: headintheclouds46
Video Description:
This incident was video recorded by Simon Lowe. 233 people where on board this jet bound for Lanzarote. The number 2 engine sucks in one bird (a crow or corvid) as the plane rotates off the runway.
T.V. news reports of two herons being sucked in are wrong.
Congratulations to the crew and air-traffic controllers for the calm and professional way they dealt with the situation. Please checkout more video's by me on Flightlevel350.com.

Great video and soundtrack and superlative airmanship and ATC.
I flew on a Britannia Airways flight in the early 90's which had a compressor stall on take off resulting in repeated banging and flames from the engine. May have been a bird strike or another cause - I dont't know.
After levelling off and the pilot announced what had happened over the intercom, and that it was the first time it had happened in his career but something they train for in the simulators :-)

maybe the remedy for bird strike is to have air ported from above on take off then only from front at good altitude?
