A Delta Air Lines flight departing Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) was forced to declare an emergency and return shortly after takeoff following a bird strike that caused engine damage. In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down what happened onboard the Boeing 737-800, how bird strikes affect jet engines, what procedures pilots follow when an engine is damaged during the most critical phase of flight, and why this event shows the system working exactly as designed. We’ll also listen to ATC audio, talk about decision-making in the cockpit, and explain why passengers were never in danger — even though seeing an engine issue right after takeoff can be terrifying. ✈️ No injuries were reported, and the aircraft landed safely back at LAX.
