Sounds like it swallowed a bird ? I'd be happy that the pilots decided to land sooner than later as asymmetrical flying wouldn't be much fun for anyone. Hurrahs all round.

The description of bangs and flames reminded me of the Thomson 757 a few years ago where someone caught the birdstrike and subsequent climb-out on video. I assume this one proceeded in a similar manner when the engine belched, past V1 so continue into the air, take a deep breath, plan for what to do next and come back.
I assume Heathrow had to close the runway while they sent out the guy with the broom to check for debris. Once it was clear, did they remain on alert with no flights until the aircraft was back down, or did they continue operations until the aircraft reported it was ready to return?
