Wow, that's amazing the aircraft remained intact and there was no fire, especially where they report it was heavily loaded and with a full fuel load. I'm guessing that landing with the gear up helped?

I know we've got some commercial pilots here, so I'll be curious to hear their opinions.

Things happened very quickly. They were only 750 feet up at the time of the bird strikes.

Kudos to the crew.

I saw that when it happened. Usually it doesn't seem to work out that well.
