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.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 04:29:26 Those engines put out roughly 50,000 hp, and rarely use more than 60% of it except in cases like this. I was one of the service line techs during engine seize at MSP. Multi bird strikes took down the twin of my son's Awac's in Alaska early 90's. A 707 version. You'd think they would pass through easier, but a tweaked blade anywhere within and it's done. Front fan blades are pretty tough and $26,000 a blade. They are removed and rapped in blankets and strapped in the seats.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 05:38:23 I must have watched this video about 15 times. Great example of safety, procedure, and pure professionals...

    November 22nd, 2008 at 07:56:17 The engine did not flameout. The birdstrike resulted in damage to the compressor section that resulted in compressor stalls which explains the flames popping from the tailpipe. The engine continues to run until it is apparently and expectedly shut down by the flight crew.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 08:19:16 Since he was landing with only one engine, he did not have maximum thrust reverse available and was severly limited in how much reverse he could use on the left engine because it would pull the aircraft to the left during roll out. It is very common during maximum use of brakes for the brakes to overheat, boil hydralic fluid, or blow out tires which could start a fire on the landing gear. The fire crew would check the brakes as a precaution in case of fire.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 08:42:15 After 40 seconds the video gets boring. You should have edited that out.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 09:05:14 Correct. the AVP @ manchester is a fantastic day out :)
  14. Indee Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 09:28:13 They would normally have used the engines to provide reverse thrust to assist in slowing the plane, but as they only had one engine operational, they would have had to use the brakes more to slow down, possibly leading to overheating and the potential for a fire

    November 22nd, 2008 at 09:51:12 Can someone explain the necessity of the brake check please.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 10:14:11 it's really, really, REALLY complicated, it's called video editing! The viewing area at manchester has the ATC playing over speakers, i imagine he has somehow tapped into this and recorded it.
  17. Romano Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 10:37:10 Most of the time ATC comms are more formal, but "take second or later exit" reduces the need for a pilot or co- to think more about something and keep more at the task in hand - getting on the ground safely. "wind is calm", as far as I understand, is standard ATC for little to no wind in any direction. Hope that helps.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 11:00:09 Yes, that's G-BOAC; the concorde on display at the Manchester Airport Viewing Park. Currently under construction as I understand but still a great family day out.
  19. Fie Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 11:23:08 how can you copy the ATC into the Video?
  20. Ear Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 11:46:07 whatsup1396, so you think this is an Airbus?
  21. HARRIET Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 12:09:06 You've seen too many movies that over dramatize everything. Talking on the radio is intended to be just a conversation between two people.

    November 22nd, 2008 at 12:32:05 wtf rrrohan2288??? He completed an emergency landing (correct procedure) due to smoke on the flightdeck. He landed safely and the emergency services delt with the issue. When everybody is safe and grounded, its ok to talk to the services lol.
  23. Berakhiah Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 12:55:04 is that a concorde @ 2:20?
  24. Paquita Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 13:18:03 Loser.. U r A fuckin retard.. That was for real. Shut your ass..

    November 22nd, 2008 at 13:41:02 glad you risked your passangers to allow fire fighters to see a real fire. douche
