Post Aircraft birdstrike at Gatwick Airport with live A.T.C commentary

(this video does not show the actual moment of the bird hitting the plane) A previous aircraft has possibly hit a bird whilst landing or taking off. The Checker vehicle is sent out to try and find any debris that may be laying on the runway , in between that the British Airways 737 chooses not to land and does a go around until the runway is safer to land on. the next plane a 757 chooses to land knowing that there may be a dead bird on the runway , i guess for an aircraft landing it can still get sucked into the engine but with a lot less severity .
