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.

I think a plane can fly perfectly on one engine without a problem. But I wouldn't try to go very far with it. Landing asap is required. Also a plane must make an emergency descend if they are at a high altitude. A plane on one engine can't fly as high as on two.

No actually they couldn't. It would over stress the one engine working.

Don't be, pilots are trained for all these types of emergencies, and it's still the safest way to travel ;)

One proof of life that more power and strenght doesn't means always win with the weakness ones.

They might have turned the Right Engine off but not both.
