Right, but how does that happen? Engines are powerful. Birds are not. It must have something to do with the collision speed

Tell you what, it has sparked my curiosity.
Perhaps some BOTL pilots can expand.
I would think it impacts the blades on the engines which in turn cause the engine to shred as result of its own debris being sucked in.

I think that's it Carlos although yes would like to hear from some aviation experts
