This is unreal. Deo gratias that it appears everyone is ok...
It is thought [that is, speculation] that a flock of geese got in the way of the big bird above on take off and both engines were affected. Three minutes into the flight passengers were told to brace themselves for a hard landing.

Thanks be to God. What an amazing gift that people were spared. Great job by the pilot and crew.
