All very interesting comments about the incident. But, after having seen most of them some and indeed, myself having contributed. I would like to insist that speculating of the exact scenario of the incident is, not wise. The final report will shed light on the sequence of events. At what height did this flight encounter the flock of birds and at what time was a G/A initiated an then canceled. The most important issue at this point is knowing that everybody walked away from this incident alive and in a more or less good shape!!
