This incident is very poor example of flying. The Capt had 12000 hrs on type. Thirty knots before V1 they had bird hit on the right engine. The rookie copilot suggested reject which the Capt decided to investigate in the air. The engine was vibrating badly. The No2 engine vibration monitor was showing excessive reading of N1,which the copilot read as NO1 engine. And the Capt of total 20000hrs didn't bother to check and shut down No.1. During restart at 2000ft thanks to Airbus they got alpha floor in Boeing they would be dead. Managed to restart asked for immediate Landing without much preparation. When vectored made a meal of it had to goround and landed safely if you can call that second time around. Some guardian angel who's duty time was not over must have taken mercy.
