AVweb published a link to a spotter's video capturing a Boeing 757 Thompson in a moment of birdstrike upon take off. Though birdstrikes are unfortunately somewhat common, capturing the actual instance on video is very rare. Several things are interesting with this scenario:
1.) As soon as distress signal was confirmed, the whole communication became quiet except the emergency aircraft and ATC.
2.) ATC cleared the 757 to land on any runway as the pilots see fit.
3.) All other planes were on hold during the emergency.
Watch the video to the very end...it is very short.
