Old NFO had a video posted yesterday of a USMC Harrier pilot earning his flight pay.
Here's a video of another crew earning their pay and demonstrating what happens when the right engine of a Boeing 757 meets a bird on takeoff.
The calm professionalism of the crew, the tower, and rescue and how they worked the problem is impressive indeed. This sang-froid was no doubt helped by having British accents.
Very nicely done gentlemen.

Yep, earned their flight pay too! Kinda interesting that approach gave them a turn into the dead engine. One GOOD thing, they were in a 757, so they kept at least some power on the right engine until they shut it down. An Airbus the computer would have shut the engine down immediately with no pilot control...
