There are a couple more videos about the same flight. One is over 9 minutes and covers the return to landing. All commo with tower, approach control and ground control is included. Very impressive.

That must have been one heck of a big bird to shred the engine that badly.
:eek:

Prob bent a blade bad enough to disrupt the airflow every time that segment of blade went around, would alternate between compressor stall and normal flow.

I kinda want to see the engine after effects.

Civi, even though handhelds are apparently illegal in the UK.

That isn't possible. They're illegal.
