It never ceases to amaze me that whenever something like this happens, there's almost always someone who has photos, videos etc. I guess it's the enthusiasts who hang around airports day in/day out.

I think the real achievement in aviation and engineering is not that a aircraft weighing hundreds of tons can jump off a runway and fly through the air, but that's it's done thousands of times each day and is completely routine. A bird strike/engine failure during takeoff (especially with a twinjet) is one of the most serious emergency scenarios, but these guys make it sound just like another day at the office. My hat's off to them.
