Bird strikes can happen anywhere.Just think of “The Miracle On The Hudson”.Also,there's a well known video on youtube of a bird strike on takeoff at a British airport...caused one of the engines to flame out at about 50 feet.The crew declared an emergency,swung the plane around and made an uneventful landing.Pretty cool IMO.

Wasn't there a Twilight Zone about this with William Shatner and John Lithgow?
