Bird strike one On two occasions this summer I filmed bird strikes with planes at BHX (Birmingham Airport). This video is the occasion when a Turkish 737-800 took off into a flock of (I think) swallows, resulting in the sad end of at least two of them. The first shot is the original footage, then the incidents with two birds are shown enlarged and slowed down. Note that the explosion of spray is just from a patch of water on the runway, NOT the engine malfunctioning.
