Great video and hats off to the crew .

Not a situation i would fancy being in! Im sure being in a aircraft thats as overpowered as the 757 was a big bonus on this this occasion!

Same thing happend a few yrs back while i was working at STN. FR 732 sucked a bird into engine 2 on rotate from rwy 05. Pulses of flames, loads of smoke and load bangs accompanying the flames as it tried to climb. Made a safe return on 1 engine. I was on the adjacent taxiway when it happened so had a great view of it, not something i wish to see again anytime soon though.

Regards.
