Where were the hills and valleys in this case to argue the throwing away of SOP's? They were LUCKY, as well as the people on the ground that they overflew. If they had followed SOP it would have probably have been a less frightening event for all involved. As was mentioned in the BEA report about AF out of Guadeloupe, "surprise" probably had a major effect here as it was not in the script. Mind you if they had seen the birds during the take off roll then they might have been expecting something!
We all know you have flown into TGU, but his was not TGU.
