Air India incident

I remember attending an incident involving a b777 a few years ago where a bird strike caused the engine to flame and smoke initially on take off , then cause severe vibration , followed by an emergency return to LGW . On return an engine inspection revealed 3 or 4 fan blades had failed. I think geese were to blame for this incident .
