ThomsonFly 757 bird strike & flames captured on video

Back

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.

Sure can mate! The 757 in particular has a very good power/weight ratio...it is affectionately known by many pilots as an 'overpowered airliner' and rightly so. But I believe most twin engine Airbus and Boeings would be fine in this situation, as they are designed with these emergencies in mind.

Besides the fact the frontal cockpit section is typical airbus styling, all 757s have two over wing exits on each side of the fuselage. If you look at the plane when it taxies back to the cameras location you can see it does not have those paired overwing exits.
