00:00I was actually going to Hong Kong and we on takeoff got a bird strike. I didn't
00:04know it at the time that a bird had hit the engine but I started feeling foggy.
00:09We know that that is a sign of a slow decompression. My eyes started glazing
00:12over. I grabbed my oxygen bottle and I look at the flight attendant across from
00:16me and I said get your oxygen bottle because I'm feeling something that
00:18doesn't feel right. So we put our oxygen masks on completely calmly and all the
00:23customers are just looking at us with their eyes wide like what is happening?
00:26All the oxygen masks dropped. Everybody's on oxygen. I'm freaking out and we
00:30ended up having to circle for about 20 minutes because you have to dump fuel
00:34because you can't land a big aircraft full of fuel. So for that entire 20 minutes
00:40I'm in my jump seat trying to calmly present myself and at the time I had
00:45babies at home. It was crazy. We landed the plane safely and everything was fine.
00:50The bird didn't make it. When something happens our training it kicks in
00:54immediately.
