From what I have read of the event, a handover of control from the FO to the Capt took place shortly after the birdstrike. Therefore it is probably the FO we hear talking here. What a wonderfully calm and measured voice under the circumstances! I am sure if I were in the same situation I could not manage something like that.

ATC did their usual highly professional job.

Pilots, Cabin crew, ATC and emergency response personnel..... you did yourselves, and the aviation community proud.
