As we went through our after landing checks, PAs and further clearances we heard a landing aircraft on the left adjacent runway reporting multiple bird strikes! Holy smoke, we could have been the predecesor of USAir 1549 taking a drink in the Chao Phraya! Unfortunately my trainee captain pre-empted any chance of us making the headlines or a stab at notoriety! Thank heavens for that!
You were really lucky your trainee was absolutely on the ball. Had you lost both engines and ended up in the Chao Phraya, I doubt there would have been ferries with all the safety equipment and safety minded crew coming over for rescue. I am sure there wouldn't be any video cameras capturing your " moment " of taking a drink.
