ThomsonFly 757 bird strike & flames captured on video 

And that definition clearly includes all of the subjects involved not just the flight crew

Cool as a cucumber.

You got that right -- every person did there job and did it well.

Google 'British Airways flight 009'. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.” The ultimate in professionalism and a great story too.

Of course it's NOT the only aircraft on the tower's frequency 🤣🤣 Do you really think they just forgot about all the other planes, right?

timaahhh that's Britain for you. so calm even after your engine just took a big dump thanks to some birds.

True British people are polite

Mc Rambro Good morning (afternoon/evening) are standard radio jargon among pilots to tell them that they are making initial contact. The phrase "Good day or good night" tells the other person that the conversation is over.

Of course they can.

@Roblox ultimate Driving police not really. Heard quite a few ATC of American engine failures, they are different, but hardly over excited.

They're designed to, plus this is a 757. One of the most overpowered aircraft ever.

And more than a decade later, it still is

Jon Wilson They received a roasted bird awards dinner.

Bro he off the left engine to will not fireing

Yeah. Because that single "correctly" functioning engine is capable of "turning" the aircraft rather than at most causing it to "yaw" slightly when the opposite engine is "running" with intermittent "compressor surge" that easily would have been stopped by making a quick manual throttle adjustment and fuel delivery change to either "starve" for fuel or "drown" with fuel the "stalling" intermediate compressor and its connected "power turbine". And when you're flying with that fine "Rolls-Royce power" and a morphodite "triple spool" engine design where the "intermediate compressor" is just "freewheeling" and isn't connected to anything but the "intermediate turbine" which also "stalls" and is also "freewheeling" and that "intermediate" compressor/turbine system powers "accessory loads" like the fuel pump which also powers the "fuel-draulic" engine mechanical control system that turns "electronic" throttle changes into "mechanical" motion to actually move the "throttle" and actually change fuel delivery AND you're also using fuel for "lubricating oil" even a "simple" compressor stall is a "serious problem". You can't "pull back" on the throttle in a "high-load" situation like that because you'll drop the fuel pump speed and output too low and starve the engine for "oil" OR if the "surge" happens to be due to an "overfueling" situation you can't "throttle up" because you could cause the engine to "run away". So you have to wait until you're "airborne" with a positive rate and the gear is idiotically-retracted (retracting gear after an "engine problem" during takeoff has killed piles of airplanes and people because a loss of engine power AND the resulting "issues" maintaining sufficient airspeed and CONTROL and "belly landings" rarely "mix" well and LEAST OF ALL WITH A "FULL LOAD" OF FUEL ON THE AIRCRAFT and engines that are going to HIT THE GROUND HARD WHEN THE WINGS "BEND" DOWNWARD DURING A "HARD LANDING" AND MORE THAN LIKELY WILL RIP OFF THE WINGS TAKING PART OF THEIR FUEL LINES WITH THEM AT LEAST IF THEY DON'T RIP THE WINGS THEMSELVES OFF BUT REGARDLESS BIG FUEL LEAKS RESULT. AND IF YOU GOT OFF THE GROUND WITH ALL THAT "DRAG" FROM UNDERCARRIAGE EXTENDED AND TIRES/BRAKES AND THEIR BUILT-IN FRICTION AND WITH A "MALFUNCTIONING" ENGINE TO BOOT YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN FLIGHT WHILE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SUDDEN LOAD OF RAISING GEAR IS GOING TO DO TO A "MALFUNCTIONING" ENGINE BESIDES ADD A SHITLOAD OF HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRICAL LOAD AS THE GEAR RETRACTS, DOORS CLOSE ETC. YOU ONLY RAISE THE GEAR IF YOUR PLANNING ON "PLAYING DUMB" AND PRETENDING "NOTHING HAPPENED" OR ARE LITERALLY "DUMB" AND LEARNED TO FLY VIA VIDEO GAMES AND "FLIGHT SIMULATORS" AND IN AIRPLANES POWERED BY SHITTY ENGINES THAT ARE ALL THE TIME "COMPRESSOR STALLING" AND YOU'RE....PRETENDING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. And when a simple bird strike of ONE BIRD like that "compressor stalls" an engine at "takeoff power" its either NOT at "full power" and/or its a POS Rolls-Royce triple-spool boat anchor that "compressor stalls" due to a "bird strike" simply because that ridiculous "triple spool" design and "intermediate" power section aren't "engineered" to keep "running" when there's a momentary disruption of fuel and/or airflow and a sudden "load" on the compressor because they're not connected to a "flywheel" of any kind. With a "standard" twin-spool engine there are two compressor sections and two turbine sections and the "low pressure compressor is "high volume" or rather "high mass flow" and is OVERSIZED for the "high pressure" compressor and is moving "cool" and "dense" intake air that is all "forced" through the "high-pressure compressor" which is "high speed" and "low mass flow" and is all hot gas in "excess" for combustion and the FUEL PUMPS are powered by the LOW PRESSURE PORTION OF THE ENGINE so they ALSO benefit from the "flywheel" of the FAN which like ALL "flywheels" is a large, rotating mass to "power" the engine through momentary "power losses". There really IS no "high pressure" and "low pressure" turbine beyond the fact that they're on separate shafts and once is "low speed" and one is "high speed" and they're connected to the two compressor sections and the "low-speed" and 'low pressure" rear turbine section shaft powers the low-pressure compressor and "flywheel" because if something comes apart "inside" the engine between the "fan" and the "power sections" the front "high-pressure compressor and turbine" will take it in the ass and "eat" the damage hopefully well enough that the "flywheel" and "low-pressure sections" remain turning and burning so at least SOME ENGINE POWER AND MOST "THRUST" REMAINS. In no situation is either section "freewheeling" and doing its own thing and subjected to both "high inlet pressure" and "high outlet pressure" like the "intermediate" section(s) of "triple-spool" Rolls-Royce engines are. The "intermediate" sections have high inlet and outlet pressures AND temperatures and lots of "backpressure" that makes it very hard for them to "survive" any damage even when what comes apart ISN'T THOSE SECTIONS THEMSELVES WHICH IS VIRTUALLY ALWAYS THE CASE BECAUSE THEY GET HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMP "COMING AND GOING" AND ARE THE FIRST PARTS TO GET "OVERHEATED" AND "OVERLOADED" AND "STALLED" OR "OVERSPED" AND THE LAST PARTS "COOLED" AND "UNLOADED" AND TO "SPOOL UP" AND "SLOW DOWN". And thanks to that piss-poor engineering and the literally impossible job of "throttling" a Rolls-Royce "triple spool" engine and "controlling" IP temp and pressure when its impossible to tell a "stall" from an "overspeed" and no matter what you do short of "shutting down" the engine in flight which tends to be REALLY FREAKING HARD ON "OVERHEATED" OR "OVERLOADED" OR "STALLED" OR "OVERSPED" PARTS THAT ARE GOING TO "SPOOL DOWN" DRY AND HOT SINCE THEY'RE POWERING THE "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" AND "ENGINE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS" THAT ACTUATE "STATOR VANE PITCH" AND THE LIKE, YOU PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO HAVE "AUTOTHROTTLE" ON A POS ROLLS-ROYCE "TRIPLE SPOOL" ENGINE JUST TO KEEP IT "RUNNING RIGHT". WHICH "AUTOTHROTTLE" ONLY DOES WHEN EVERYTHING IS "RIGHT" IN THE ENGINE. ITS PROGRAMMED TO RESPOND TO A "COMPRESSOR STALL" BY DOING NOTHING BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING "GUARANTEED" TO NOT MAKE AN "EVENT" INTO AN "ENGINE FAILURE". SO ITS PRETTY EASY FOR THE "PILOT" TO "SOUND PROFESSIONAL" WHEN "STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE" IS TO DO NOTHING. OF COURSE IF YOU THINK "PROFESSIONAL" IS WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE AT 1:32 WITH THAT RAPID-FIRE 8 SECONDS OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE GIBBERISH THE "AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER" SUPPOSEDLY "GOT" JUST FINE AND DANDY AND UNDERSTOOD EVERY WORD OF AND NOT THE "BABBLE" OF SOMEBODY WHO IS HOPELESSLY OUT OF HIS DEPTH OUTSIDE THE "FLIGHT SIMULATOR" HE NO DOUBT "LEARNED TO FLY" IN AND WHEN FORCED TO "MAKE A DECISION" ON SOMETHING AS "SIMPLE" AS WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE AN "ENGINE ISSUE" ON TAKEOFF HE PRETTY MUCH "LOST IT". BECAUSE "THE BOOK" DOESN'T TELL YOU "WHERE TO GO" AND THERE ARE NO "REAL EMERGENCIES" IN A FUCKING SIMULATOR OR EVEN "CLOSE CALLS". SIMULATORS SIMULATE NOTHING BUT BRAINLESS "AUTOPILOT" TYPE FLYING WHICH IS THE MAIN TYPE "TAUGHT" WORLDWIDE IN COUNTRIES WITH NO "GENERAL AVIATION" AVAILABLE TO ANYBODY WHO ISN'T "PRIVILEGED" AND "EDUCATED" ENOUGH TO KNOW HE/SHE IS BETTER OFF LETTING THE "PROS" DO THE FLYING AND CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR "REAL" PROFESSIONAL "PRIVATE" PILOTS WHO ACTUALLY ARE "PILOTS" AND NOT JUST "SEAT FILLERS" AND "TALKING HEADS" SITTING BACK FOR THE RIDE AFTER "PROGRAMMING" THE "FLIGHT COMPUTERS" WHEN THEY EVEN HAVE TO DO THAT WHICH IS "NEVER" FLYING THE SAME AIRCRAFT ON THE SAME ROUTE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. A "PILOT" WHO :REMAINS CALM" TO THE POINT YOU CAN'T TELL THERE'S ANY "EMERGENCY" AT ALL LISTENING TO HIM "PLAY PILOT" ON THE RADIO WITH THE "TOWER" IS NOT A "PILOT". HE OR SHE IS A FUCKING "ACTOR" PLAYING "PILOT" IN AN AIRPLANE THEY COULDN'T "FLY" FROM POINT A TO POINT B IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN VMR CONDITIONS AND IF IT WERE ONLY 10 MILES FROM POINT A TO POINT B AND HIGH NOON ON THE NICEST SUNNIEST DAY OF THE YEAR IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE "COMPUTERS" DOING EVERYTHING BUT TALKING ON THE RADIO TO THE "TOWER" FOR THEM. THE "PILOT" LOSES IT WHEN IDIOTICALLY ASKED WHAT HE WANTS TO DO VIZ A VI "HANDLING" AN "EMERGENCY" HE SHOULDN'T EVEN CALL IF HE DOESN'T "KNOW THE ANSWER" TO THAT SIMPLE FUCKING QUESTION NO IDIOT "CONTROLLER" EVER ASKS IN A TRUE "EMERGENCY" ON TAKEOFF BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS. WHICH ANY 1ST DAY "STUDENT PILOT" LEARNING TO "FLY" THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY AND PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY WITH BASIC COMMON SENSE KNOWS INSTINCTIVELY THE ANSWER TO IS "GO AROUND AND GET THAT BUCKET OF BOLTS ON THE GROUND ASAP AND STAY AS CLOSE TO THE "DEPARTURE" AIRPORT AND ITS EMERGENCY SERVICES AS YOU POSSIBLY FUCKING CAN AND WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T "DIVERT" TOWARD SOME "ALTERNATE" AIRPORT AND AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DEALING WITH AND IN THE PROCESS PUT EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR ON THE WAY TO AND ON THE WAY INTO AND OUT OF THAT "ALTERNATE AIRPORT" AT RISK TURNING ONE EMERGENCY INTO A PILE OF THEM". 5 FUCKING MINUTE TO GET A "BROKEN" AIRLINER BACK ON THE GROUND IN A SIMPLE "ONCE AROUND THE PATCH ASAP" EMERGENCY SITUATION AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF "THINKING" IN A SITUATION ANYBODY EVER FACED WITH A REAL "EMERGENCY" AND WITH BASIC COMMON SENSE WOULDN'T HAVE TO EVEN "THINK ABOUT" FOR 5 SECONDS. AND THAT'S "PROFESSIONAL" AVIATION IN THE "UK"? YEAH. JUST AS "PROFESSIONAL" AS A COMMERCIAL AIRPORT OPERATING PASSENGER TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT LETTING THE LOCAL BIRD POPULATION FLY UP AND DOWN THE FUCKING RUNWAYS. OF COURSE THE SAME "PROFESSIONALS" RUN AIRPORTS LIKE "LONDON CITY AIRPORT" WHICH IS BASICALLY A FUCKING "ISLAND" SURROUNDED BY WATER NO DOUBT QUITE "ATTRACTIVE" TO FUCKING DUCKS, GEESE ETC AND WHERE THE "LOCALS" PROBABLY GO DOWN AND FEED THE FUCKING THINGS WHEN THEY'RE NOT "BIRDWATCHING". OF COURSE THEY ARE "WILDLIFE" AND ALL "WILDLIFE" IS "PROPERTY OF THE CROWN" SO....

Yeah

8 years later.

Yeah, what some people don't realize is pilots bend over backwards to ensure the safety of the passengers and crew.

Dylan Tucker And yet they are so poorly compensated.

Shhhh! My budget holiday may not agree with that statement. 😮

All twin-engine airliners are designed such that they can climb with an engine failure, and always calculate their takeoffs so that if an engine failure happens at any point during the takeoff roll they can either stop it on the runway (before V1) or continue the takeoff safely (after V1).

This is what pilots are trained & paid for. This is their job. Most of the time planes fly on autopilot. This is exactly what I expect from all pilots. Anything less than this would be incompetence. What you are witnessing here is professor piloting to a good standard. That should be “normal”.

Yeah, cause losing ALL 4 engines is just a 'slight problem'

WillGamer //LightGreninjaPro ㅗ

Deep Heat If I'm not mistaken wasn't that the flight that was experiencing "st. Elmos cloud"?

I think its "St. Elmo's Fire"....an excellent episode on Discovery Channel called "Mayday"....landed safely and everyone ok

rod928s4 i mean fire, lol, not sure why i typed cloud

1:50

keith murray That bird definitely ran afoul of the airport traffic rules.

Blair Maynard haha!

keith murray :) Darwin!

Bighappy Like it :-)

keith murray Gotta hate runway incursion.

rip bird

I suppose being calm is key to a successful and stress free emergency landing

+steve wilson Look up the Sioux City Iowa crash, United flight 232 in 1989. The plane had lost ALL hydraulic power, and pretty much all flight control. The pilots were still calm (and joking) as they approached. The pilots: Fitch: I'll tell you what, we'll have a beer when this is all done. Haynes: Well I don't drink, but I'll sure as hell have one. The control tower gave them a runway to land on (even though the whole airport was shut down waiting for the crippled plane) and the pilot joked "you're gonna make me land on a specific runway?" They are a different breed. LOL

watch the Hudson River landing. That was a calm pilot. all pilots should be calm during situations like this doesn't help getting worked up.

+steve wilson i know right!

+steve wilson Any pilot worth his salt will remain calm in this situation. Getting hyped up will just make it worse.

Dont forget the flight attendants

@@ethanlaffitte4594 Yes fair point

@@nigelstringfellow5187 exactly, when the aircraft was landing you would have the crew shouting heads down stay down multiple times while trying to stay calm them selves

Bet he's got that rudder cranked over.

mmm JFC

David Curry Humour ! I like it.

David Curry what a comment

+jc06gsxr600 nope, SHREDDED, jet engines have MASSIVE fan blades that were probably spinning at a good 150MPH when the bird hit them

+jc06gsxr600 Nandos Anyone?

Shitted out totally fried with a bit of crispiness...

Yea the bird is OBVIOUSLY gonna be fine. how can it be not? lol

There are thousands of bird strikes per year. This was just one of them. The bird would have been killed on impact.

@@glenaldsouza4929 are you trolling lol, this guy means how good it was all filmed and edited into a vid

Don't worry yourself too much, the Police officials use flares, and shotguns loaded with extremely loud blanks to disperse the flocks of birds, but there are a few stragglers, and the noise of the engines will most likely scare those stragglers away, but usually in a bird-strike the plane lands safely.

I believe that at Heathrow there is a team of bird controllers to scare any birds away.

@@rosemarydudley9954 I believe thats on most if not all commercial airports. Regardless howmuch you scare them off. Thete is still the odd chance of rogue bird appearing to Fuck shit up

WILKO50 *cue flame war* I'm an atheist, shut up.

DaROBLOXChannel - LOL Part of the reason people learned to fly was by watching birds, and trying to figure out how they were able to fly. So birds helped us to fly. I don’t think anyone really meant anything else, although I could be wrong.

Well, since the engine was damaged before rotation, the aircraft didn't (couldn't) pitch up as usual so no pitch adjustment (lowering) was required. I think!

It is!!!! :)

911gpd good eye bro

911gpd they do tours of it, its great, but its now in a hangar

DaDonkey Aviation thx for the info. we also have 2 of them in a hangar at Le Bourget. So sad this wonderful bird is not flying anymore. It's awesome to see how people love this aircraft

911gpd Maximum pedantry here - Technically, that's Concorde in the background (as opposed to "a Concorde.") You don't use the definite article when referring to Concorde :)

I know I was three when this happened and I was on this flight the pilots did an amazing job and I owe my life to them

+Luke Johnson sure... Liar

EenGamingChannel I am not a liar wtf would I lie about it?

That's my dad lol

Wembley Gaming daddy you're clear to land

not only British, all pilots are trained to the same standard if you start panicking you screwd

You'd be amazed how little a lot of pilots get paid. Especially for internal flights you can expect basically minimum wage. Weird but true.

@@DS-uy6jw I read today - 29/08/2021 - that at least one former U.K. pilot is now getting paid more to drive an HGV than to fly an aeroplane!...

oh yeah good find mate

thanks

Gwyn Heriford no problem ;)

;)

Because they used to have a decommissioned one at Manchester for display purposes

thanks for pointing the Concorde out in the Vid...Miss her she shouldn't be sitting on the ground.

I just saw that? I was like "Concorde??!!"

You’ve got it in one, mate, 👍

@ÎtžTrîçç04 Me too :D

ITS THE ONLY THING TO ATTEMPT TO DO IN ANY "EMERGENCY" ON TAKEOFF. ONLY IDIOTS WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT "DIVERTING" AWAY FROM EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE "EMERGENCY" ON THE GROUND AND IN A POSITION TO "HELP" AND SPECIFICALLY THERE FOR THAT REASON. AND THAT DOESN'T STOP THIS "PROFESSIONAL" FROM BEING AN "IDIOT". HE IDIOTICALLY RAISED THE GEAR IN A "CLIMB" WITH A "BAD ENGINE" AND WITH PRESUMABLY WINGS FULL OF FUEL THAT INVARIABLY WERE GOING TO GET "TORN UP" WHEN THE ENGINES HIT THE GROUND IN A "GEAR UP" LANDING IF GOD FORBID THE GEAR WOULDN'T HAVE LOWERED AGAIN OR HE FUCKING STALLED THE AIRCRAFT DURING THAT IDIOCY AND HAD TO "PUT IT DOWN" IMMEDIATELY AND HARD RIGHT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND DURING HIS "GO AROUND" WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN AUTOMATIC AND REQUIRING ZERO "THOUGHT" PERIOD. THAT "PROFESSIONAL" WILL KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE IF HE'S EVER FACED WITH A REAL "EMERGENCY" GIVEN HIS "FLIGHT SIMULATOR TRAINING" AND OBVIOUSLY TERROR-STRICKEN "RESPONSE" WHEN FINALLY FORCED TO "MAKE A DECISION" AT 1:30 AFTER "THINKING ABOUT IT" FOR A LONG ENOUGH PERIOD OF TIME HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LANDING AT 1:30 INSTEAD OF FINALLY "GETTING" THAT THE "RIGHT ANSWER" TO "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO" WHICH IS AN EQUALLY IDIOTIC QUESTION FROM AN IDIOT IN THE "TOWER" IS "GO AROUND AND LAND ASAP". AT 1:32 "MR. PROFESSIONAL" RATTLES OFF 8 SECONDS OF BABBLING INCOHERENCY IT NO DOUBT TOOK A HELL OF AN ACTOR PLAYING "AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER" TO "RESPOND" TO WITH ANYTHING BUT "WTF DID YOU JUST SAY"? THAT WHOLE "AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL RECORDING" SOUNDS ABOUT FAKE AS HELL AS FAR AS THE "TOWER'S" SIDE OF THE "CONVERSATION".

Plus they offered Liverpool airport is only 20 miles from Manchester airport if needed

Ha ha manners cost nothing lol

I watched this video while I was at the airport waiting to board the plane, I have no fear of flying whatsoever.

FO wasn't British 🤣
