Air Astana Birdstrike

An Air Astana 757 taking off from Atyrau, Kazakhstan had a birdstrike (unconfirmed so far) in one of it's engines today and had to land back at Atyrau. Safe landing, only casualties were 200+ pairs of ex-pat's underwear.

As there is no other way out today profits in the local bars are forecast to increase.

Anybody got any more details?
