ThomsonFly 757 bird strike flames captured on video
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.

Never knew a low-flying bird can cause that much trouble!

Very calm and professional pilots. If I was flying the plane and found out we lost an engine, I would shit myself.

This has to be one of the most AMAZING ORIGINAL clips on YouTube... Thank you for sharing this INCREDIBLE clip... Very Professional... [Pilot should get a "COMMENDATION" from THOMSONS]. IN TOTAL COMMAND...

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

I couldn't understand the one of the pilots. He had a heavy accent.
