Sounds like same pilot that the same videogropher filmed a few years ago on the Thomson 757 bird strike t/o -

Standard Pilot emergency voice.We are all trained in its use.No relationship!......

Quite so LOMAPASEO, but at least it's a tad more interesting than some of the rubbish that gets posted here.

My first thought was also how much it sounded like the same skipper from the TCX 757 strike a while ago. Either way, job well done.

Another perspective (with daft spotter commentary) here:

I thought the exact same. Speaking of which, It will be covered in next weeks episode of "Terror in the Skies"!

Many pilots and controllers sound the same. It's called the r/t voice.

The avian judging panel perched on the fence made me smile. Obviously preparing to pass on hints to this year's youngsters. ;)

Yes, very good video. The videographer is obviously good and uses a tripod.

hehe, I think we know who we are talking about.

Where's the explosion?

Sixfoot Toan 25th Jun 2013 05:43

At about 16/17 seconds, very clear.

Yes, but there it will not be "look at how well and safely an engine problem is normally dealt with", but "LOOK HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS - ALMOST 320 PASSENGERS NEARLY LOST THEIR LIVES", has to be the most sensationalist drivel ever done on aviation!

Some stupid comments on the utube site, especially about Boeing Vs Airbus and clearing the runway.

Hardly an explosion. Engine failure, yes. Might, just might scrape into 2nd definition:
Explosion: Noun
  • A violent and destructive shattering or blowing apart of something, as is caused by a bomb.
  • A violent expansion in which energy is transmitted outward as a shock wave.

Kestrel are not having the best of luck with their 330s. Heard them divert last year due engine snag at 30w . That's a fairly serious rto.

WhyByFlier 25th Jun 2013 07:37

A couple of things:

1. You're a pedant.
2. It was an explosion by the first definition - it says 'as is'. The casing contained the explosion.

Basil 25th Jun 2013 07:48

Appears to be a surge.
Excellent video of the phenomenon.

Lurking_SLF 25th Jun 2013 08:14

Nice to hear that by the time the sound of the explosion/surge reaches the camera the Fire Trucks are on the way.

Well done to all...
