Oh dear.
The DM again with the obligatory photo of suitably distressed 'survivors'.

The Torygraph was hardly any better with a breathless report of the 'front propeller' being smashed (as opposed to the rear one, of course).

Compare that with the Spicejet 737 at Surat, India a couple of days ago (South Asia forum).
They damn-near ingested a buffalo on take-off.
"The impact with the buffalo was heavy and very noticeable", observed a passenger afterward."

Seems the pilots in India are more cautious than ours - the passengers were required to take another aircraft to continue their journey.
