Disaster??? this is why i don't watch the news that often, they're making something out of actually nothing, the pilots are trained to deal with certain situations and this is a routine thing, I highly doubt it was close to disaster.

You can work on an engine anytime after shutdown, i changed a HPTCC sensor the other day 10 mins after shutdown, was a little roasting!

Good work on the part of the crew. And the birds didn't feel a thing, I'm sure.

Everyone cares spares . In theory it would be possible to return to service the same day. But the circumstances (spare engine, change crew, other damage to the A/C) would have to be ideal...

Although the full inflight altitude is not indicated, what you see in this clip , the A/C would not be pressurizing now. They are too low. The controls have an Emergency Depressurization control to do what u are talking about. This forces the outflow valves to open , thereby causing the pressure to be released.

When i say CAA and FAA regulations im talking about a 2 engined aircraft that has one broken and one working engine before take off or even before taxiing. The pilot made the correct decision in taking off after the bird strike, as you pointed out.

Yes,but that's not the point.After reaching V-1 there is no more runway for RTO.That's the only reason for flying with one engine.Its a 1 second decision the captain has to make!

Over buildings??? No.

It is able to fly on one engine, we saw it do it after the bird stike, but the CAA and FAA regulations would not allow a two engine aircraft to take off with only one engine.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
