At about 5:46 did anyone else notice the APU Flap open? Have they switched on the APU to supply the power that they were missing from the Engine 2 Generator, or in preperation to shut down the number 1 Engine as well?

Fantastic Video! Great work on the part of ATC and the flight crew. Thanks as well for the great footage and ATC Coverage.

Actually, it's not a fake. Thats what happens to an engine when a bird decides to get aquainted with the internal workings.

Also, when a bird strike, most of the danger is already passed before the plane lands and the number 2 (right) engine is already shut off. They did ask for a visual brake inspection so they were ready to deploy chutes if the crew decided that it was required.

You don't want to evacuate an airplane unless it's absolutely necessary (i.e. fire or smoke). If passengers are evacuated there's going to be pushing, shoving, falling, etc. and there's a very good chance that someone's going to get hurt. Landing with an engine inoperative isn't really that difficult and the risk to the passengers was minimal.

Yes, the pilot made a small mistake at the initial mayday call:"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Thomson253H, Engine failure, we are continuing with northwest lead and then inbound towards of Wallasey" - The Air Traffic Controller responded to the call with its correct callsign: "Thomson163H, all runways available for landing, surface wind 107 degrees at 5 knots"(If you don't understand something, just ask, i answer - i understand 99% of it"
