I personally know the Student pilot and it's a BAe Hawk belonging to the Canadian Air Force.

Bird vs Million dollar plane

I don't have credentials in relation to aircraft. You stated that "A large majority of the time an object is sucked into a turbine engine it destroys the engine." Although this may be true for solid objects such as a radar, a bird is not made of hard materials. Although it may vary from bird to bird, most of the time the only damage an engine suffers is lack of oxygen. A bird would pass through an engine in only a matter of seconds.

no, a bird would pretty much destroy it... its a pretty darn solid object

that about it though, you ahve a semi solid object that is sucked into a turbine engine with fans that are roating at very high velocities... and if somthing were to hit them. a spinning object that is only strong enough to absorb air pressure at subsonic speeds. isn't going to be as good at absorbing a hit from a 5 kilo bird that has some mater about it. end result = borken engine and dead plane.

Also, only one pilot. movie quote,"I'll say Eject!, Eject!, Eject!" .."What do I say?"..."I don't care, 'cause you'll be talking to yourself!"

Exactly, they chose the best place possible to eject.

What are your credentials? A large majority of the time an object is sucked into a turbine engine it destroys the engine. They tried relighting the engine twice, the damage was obviously too extensive to continue operation.
