Bird Strike - Thomson 263-Hotel
EHM-1703 Philip:
Hi Guys,
Saw this posted on another forum and thought it was a cool look at how emergencies are handled in the real worlds.
Mayday 263-Hotel Video
The way those guys kept their cool was amazing, they were certainly earning their corn that day!
Feel sorry for the pax who didn't make it to their Holiday destination that day!
Feel even worse for the bird that didn't make it across 6 Left at EGCC!
:)
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Great video Phil :8
It certainly confirms that those engine fail at V1 simchecks the guys & girls do every 6 months pay dividends!

I feel bad that this happened to a 757! (Why not that hideous monstrosity the A330?!)
Seriously, I am amazed at how well the pilots maintained their cool in getting the plane on the ground. This movie played on the New Zealand News a few days ago and I was very impressed ;);D
EHM-1703 Philip:
Wow, it made the news in NZ, yet I live less than 40km from where it happened and only heard about it today! LOL I guess the Elections here have pretty much drowned out our news coverage! :P
