Bird Strike nr3

Acording to the Belgian press this evening, the investigation board has conluded to the ingestion of a prey bird by engine nr 3, about 4 sec after V1 followed by another couple of seconds before decision was made to abort with the known consequences.

Biological debris was found in the engine and DNA probes were even able to determine the species and breed of the poor animal.

Good landings all,
