Bit of video here

Reports are that it had a bird strike on take off taking out both engines. Guy landed it - full fuel, 200+ people, wheels up - into a field and everyone walked away. Don't know what the Russian phrase for "balls of steel" is, but I'm guessing that's what it will say on his medal.

Taking your baggage down the slide with you is one thing. Walking back up the slide into the still smoking aircraft is another.
Glad to see everyone walked away though, although I think I'd have kept walking a bit longer.
Edited: Ah - that bit of video is the same as the OP's......but presumably as the first version has some audio bleeped out, this version might be NSFW if you work in a Russian speaking office...

Or going back to check if there's anyone left in the cabin...?Taking your baggage down the slide with you is one thing. Walking back up the slide into the still smoking aircraft is another.
From this image posted it looks like they went through the flock of birds at, or a few millisecs before rotation.........!

No wonder they left the gear up, it was probably still cycling up when they were already heading back down again. Probably had no time to do anything other than keep it straight ahead and sink it back down onto the ground....!
I hope we'll see Vlad pinning a gong onto the flight crew - superb outcome.

Technically, the DC-8 never took off, as it was an aborted take-off and he just run out of runway before he could stop it. The runways were shorter back then than they are now, and the a/c never even got as far as the perimeter road. Whats more amazing to think now, is that the local farmer was allowed to plant cabbages technically within the airport boundary and what is now consider to be a high security airside area
Beeb have a very brief clip of footage from a passenger - looks like it's barely off the runway when the birds hit.
