This video is worthy of historic note: not only for its incredible capture of a live commercial aviation event, but for being of such superior video quality and the maintenance of its relevance. My oh my...Simon Lowe's finest work. ❤🛫
People on other videos ask why planes can’t go around bird migration paths as if bird strikes happen at 30,000 to 40,000 feet in the air. This is what most bird strikes are… the fuck are you supposed to do about this to save the bird.
Used this video (many years ago now 😂) for my flight instructor course for my presentation which I did on bird strikes. Years later I would have a suspected bird strike of my own. Great display of aviation by all involved and still a great watch.
ATC was poor. The crew stated their intentions and were repeatedly interrupted when they would’ve been going through their QRH. Unless Manchester was closed there was no reason for them to divert to Liverpool, yet that was offered twice. Poor.
The most comprehensive coverage of this type of incident I have seen. Beautifully edited and put together and it makes it so interesting. Everyone involved throughout was so professional and calm. Text book. Thank you for your detailed work in putting this together so well. It should be a RU-vid Aviation Classic for many years to come!!
I don't think the 757 can dump fuel so what's really impressive in my opinion is that the brakes on the aircraft were able to bring that beast to a stop successfully without catching on fire.
This case of bird strike in a Mexican airliner had the same behavior of the engine (repeated explosions) ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SsJEbtgPzEI.html
When did the runways change from 06 to 05? 2007 - Building work begins on a major refurbishment of Terminal One. Meanwhile, runway markings are changed to '05-23' from '06-24' to account for changes to the earth’s magnetic field.
is that starboard engine still making some thrust on the climb out, where we see it pulsing? I assume they shut it down but the checklist at some point has them attempting to restart the engine?
The bird strike caused the starboard engine to surge(pulsing), so they definitely shut it down. The 757 QRH states for Engine Surge or Stall, "After shutdown, a restart maybe attempted if there is N1 rotation and no abnormal airframe vibration." >> "Go to engine failure shutdown checklist...." I guess they wouldn't attempt to restart it, as restarting may cause even more damage, and a 757 can fly and land with just one working engine.
The fact a loaded aircraft can maintain enough thrust, airspeed and control to continue take off with a single engine is amazing. The engineering is facilitating.
