Yup, bird strike, no hydraulics...gear up landing, which is survivable except that the plane had no flaps and thrust reversers (landed on the engines)...meaning it slid to the end and hit a barrier. Typical MSNBC “analysis” provided by folks who’d fail a fifth grade science test. And the media wonders why we give the turds in our toilet more regard than we give them. I’m surprise they didn’t let Rachel Maddow give the report, since she is arguably the best liar there.

“no hydraulics”

The bird strike will not take out hydraulics. Raising flaps after the bird strike indicates they still had hydraulics.
The smooth control on landing indicates they had hydraulics.

The turds have more substance than Rachel.

From the video, it appears that the right thrust reverser was deployed.
