Bird Strike on a Canadair Challenger 604 ( I think ? Looks to new in the cock-house to be a 601 )
I bet this got there attention. I have had to deal with the aftermath of a few birdie strikes, but never anything this gross







Look closly at the bent up fan blades, hell of a meat grinder, most of it probably went through the bypass duct

NO FREE RIDES!


That was a gnats a** away from a major catostrophy. Fortunate crew. Probably more than one bird impacted. Did they ID the breed? 'Spect they had a significant decompression. What altitude were they at when the incident occurred?

I do not know the specifics of the incident. My guess is it my have been on climb out. I think a head on with even a large bird might have been deflected ?? If they were climbing fast when they impacted the poor birdie that might explain the structural damage. JMO.
Would not have been alot of cabin differential pressure during initial climbout.
