ThomsonFly 757 bird strike & flames captured on video

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.

@stuporskull is fishing for excuses for his or her own failures. Yeah kid, you are exactly who I had in mind when I used the term "wannabe". Except in your case that isn't accurate, it's more like "can't find way out of basement and never will"

@karlbbb @giravna The "hotel" in the name is phonetic for the letter H, which is synonymous with the word "Heavy" when speaking to ATC.

An aircraft is considered "heavy" if its maximum take-off weight is 255,000lbs or more, at which point ATC needs to increase separation distances between aircraft.

Why did the callsign change from 253H (0:20) to 263H (0:35)?

@HJBounell is "wannabe's" another word for "people who don't have $100,000 to spend on training and or rich parents and or were military pilots"?

@karlbbb

Thx.

[karlbbb]

@glravna The flight number was 265H and "Hotel" is the phonetic representation of "H".

[glravna]

why do they have hotel in the name etc?
