Post Aircraft birdstrike at Gatwick Airport with live A.T.C commentary

(this video does not show the actual moment of the bird hitting the plane) A previous aircraft has possibly hit a bird whilst landing or taking off. The Checker vehicle is sent out to try and find any debris that may be laying on the runway , in between that the British Airways 737 chooses not to land and does a go around until the runway is safer to land on. the next plane a 757 chooses to land knowing that there may be a dead bird on the runway , i guess for an aircraft landing it can still get sucked into the engine but with a lot less severity .

@gazzerhst engines are always running, and reverse is the same as forward thrust except the thrust is rerouted backwards; the engine does not turn backwards though

i think that the bird would not get sucked in because if your rolling down your runway, your engines will be in idle/reverse so it will not suck it in.

@sepi40 autothrottle, not autopilot.

Where are you standing, Is that 08R you are facing? I wandered about down Charlwood end, but the only places I could see that you could get a good view from were private fields overlooking the airport.
