They probably also record from the tower what the camera in the plane is recording. Or they might use that blackbox technology that they used in the planes that were involved in 9/11.

I was surprised that one bird could take it out, but I guess it must have been a single engine jet. If you imagine your in the plain, you kinda can guess at whats going on. In my opinion, when the bird hits, he pulls back on the stick to keep it up since he has lost power from the engine loss. Then towards the end, when you hear the controller saying "eject, eject, eject" the plain nosses down, thats when I imagine he ejects, and no-one is holding the stick back. So I'm sure he made it. Some awesome footage. The part that confuses me is, if the camera is in the plain, how did they get the footage, if it crashed?

Damn, the bird one. I could see the impact at about 6 seconds into the video. I can't believe the plane actually crashed from that! I hope the pilot was able to eject before the plane crashed.

Found this on Digg.com. Pretty cool footage through the cockpit heads up display of fighter jet taking off, and engine swallows a bird. Has the sound, so you can hear the pilot go from calm to breathing heavy. You can even hear the computer giving the warnings. Pretty cool stuff. Get it HERE. Direct link.
