Passenger Plane With An Engine On Fire, Making Emergency Landing At Rockford Airport

The video shows the results of an engine failure inflight. That's what it looks like coming out the engine tail pipe during darkness. It would be beneficial to know if they found the results of a bird strike on fan blades etc. It's dark out, obviously icy cold, had been snowing and brings up the question of why geese or any other bird would be flying around in those conditions. The folks on the ground could tell within minutes of a visual inspection whether it was bird fod or the result of ice fod. Nothing in this article speaks of the results of any such inspection. Just curious. Fortunately this didn't happen at three in the morning at the Boise, Id. airport.

Well, Rickie sounds like a 5th grader, judging by his writings here. Maybe should stick to his rodeo riding instead, eh?

Here is a video of the bird strike from inside the plane. Pretty cool

Glad the crew members were able to land safely.

I'm more surprised since this has been posted for a day there haven't been any wisecracks about the crew and pax being the most prepared for something like this - as they take their lives into their own hands being on Allegiant A/C as it is.

Fire reported by passengers ? Working on their mental anguish lawsuit -
Flame out - goose roasting parts "Officals stated no fire" :)

Glad all souls made it safe.

We're those bird carrying picket signs?

Glad they landed safely but the writing in that article is the real disaster. No clarification of what MABAS is but glad we now know that a bird strike means they hit a bird.
