Nah, to be truly accurate it's an "engine suck".

I think he was just panicking at first when he said '253H,' the actual flight number was TOM263H. I noticed that too, mate.

Aircraft - Thompson 253H
Controller says Thompson 263 ? :S :S

well, i could not see that the APU Door was opened ... however it is quite possible, that the crew start the APU after landing - which is normal procedure after every landing.

This is hardly fake. I'm a liscenced Aeronaughtical engineer and the amount of times my mentors told me the amount of damage a single pidgeon/seagull/geese/blackbirds has stuck in me like my own skin. Birds crashing into a gas turbine engine (Jet engine) at a blade spinning around 50,000 rpm and creating thousands of pounds of thrust is defenitely going to blow the engine up and create an explosion big enough to disable the entire engines operating systems.

People call this a "bird strike" but it's more accurately a "plane strike" It's the plane that has struck the bird, not the other way round!

I can't see that very clearly either there is 2 engines or 4.If they were 4 he should just shut down the engine! If he doesn't shut it down, the plane could crash. Except for this one i think he did shut it doesn't but incase other plane got a bird stuck in the engine or sucked in they should probably do that.

I wonder if a bird could possibly rip a blade on the turbine off, at that speed it would of torn it apart... Well not apart...

I bet the passenger's that were sitting on that side in the rear were probly freaking out seein those flames coming outta that engine.

At about 5:46 did anyone else notice the APU Flap open? Have they switched on the APU to supply the power that they were missing from the Engine 2 Generator, or in preperation to shut down the number 1 Engine as well? |
