Should be in the video board

But! Scary stuff!! Did you see the way the way flames kept flying out at regular intervals...Insane stuff...on a lighter note, that bird must've been really well cooked

AMAZING that they found bird pieces at that spot :o
Not really, bird goes in, bird comes out all be it in kit form. You would be surprised what can be found after a bird strike.

(Thanks God everything went fine) This is one my favorite video , The great dicipline of the Pilots and the Tower control,how they handle this emergency very calm (they must been doing a TV comercial or something by a coincidence when this almost fatal accident Due to such a good quality in this video)
Try to do the same in MSFS 9 or X using the 737 ,in V1 turn off the right engine, lift the plane then try to land it ,like them ,Its very though ,These Brithish pilots are very profesionals.. 8-)

Yes very professional, that goes for all nationalities. But remember that scenario has been FORCED on them in VERY realistic simulators, as well as in real aircraft DOZENS of times.
Well, perhaps NOT at engine out at rotation in real aircraft... ;)
Anyway, let's see some video's of this scenario! I'm practicing, it ain't pretty, but I've made it :)

LOL love how the arrow points at the little birdie trying to get away

Those flames look good

Not ina pyro maniac sorta way though... also are you ment to put your gear up while your engine is spitting out fire?

Atleast they are very professional (not as good as aussie pilots ;D )! A lot of lives could ahve been lost! Just like the DC-10 with the engine falling off on rotation.
All the transmissions seemed very calm.
They didnt use much runway either
