Small comment from the observer gallery; I would rather be a passenger in an aircraft that has a severe bird strike in the last few feet of an approach, or after touchdown, than be a passenger in an aircraft that has a severe bird strike in the first stages of a go-around.

So if ATC or a crew reports a runway bird strike on the landing aircraft in front of the one I'm in, next week, I hope the PF continues the landing while being alert to the possibility of a bird strike and loss of power.
