Overseas B737-800 go around accident due severe bird strike 120 birds
https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/...no_Italy,_2008
On 10 November 2008, a Boeing 737-800 about to land at Rome Ciampino Airport flew through a large and dense flock of starlings, which appeared from below the aircraft. After the crew had made an unsuccessful attempt to go around, they lost control due to malfunction of both engines when full thrust was applied and a very hard impact half way along the runway caused substantial damage to the aircraft. The Investigation concluded that the Captain’s decision to attempt a go around after the encounter was inappropriate and that bird risk management measures at the airport had been inadequate. |

Remember the PanAm B707-321 that went off the end of (then) runway 34 at Sydney in the 1960's? Multiple engines loss of power due to the birdstrike, and major damage when the aircraft hit the non-frangible concrete block the frangible approach light poles for 16 were mounted on. At the time, of the biggest rebuilds (instead of write-offs) ever done by a Boeing AOG Field Team. Tootle pip!! |
A friend of mine and his captain were killed in the first Nimrod accident the RAF suffered. They hit a large flock of seagulls which were on the runway. Three engines failed and the other only took them as far as the woods ahead on the departure path. The rear crew all survived.

Ahhh, the days of the Tempe Tip next to the airport, and squillions of seagulls. Birdstrike paradise.
