Chartered Delta 757 carrying the Utah Jazz suffers bird strike and engine failure at Salt Lake International
A Delta Boeing 757 chartered by the Utah Jazz NBA basketball team took off from SLC enroute to Memphis for a basketball game. At around 3,500 agl the aircraft hit a flock of birds causing such significant damage to the number one engine that it lit on fire and shut down. The aircraft circled back and made a safe landing and fire crews escorted the plane to a safe evacuation area. The team was then sent on a later plane to their destination.

Yes, that video of MAN is used in wildlife mitigation classes for the past decade. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times. And of course the US Airways A320 in the Hudson. Both classic cases.
Putty, the 757 is a very beautiful plane
The plane survived. You just change the engine!
Heck, when the BA 777 #1 engine blew up on takeoff roll at LAS and caught fire, damaging the wi g and fuselage, it was back i. The air some 8 months later!

But it’s also sad that there was no video of the actual strike
Not always being in the right place at the right time to catch the action.
However, you can easily visualize it. I know I can.....

Sometimes I wonder how people decided to video tape one day, and how it ended up that this time it would be something big that they caught on camera.
Compliments to the training, the aircrew - and the second engine.
