Still a great job. This is why we have humans sitting in row zero.
IMC/Night, build up areas around the airport and the chances would have been slim.
Video looks like a flaps 1 (slats but no flaps) configuration at landing. Strange, but maybe not the worst option to have the wing staying intact.
Looking forward for the report, again a lot to be learned.
Chances of hitting a flock of birds in IMC/night are next to 0. Simply as birds don't tend to fly at night in IMC. One thing to grateful of!
Create job by all the crew involved.
