N59338 (cn 23576) This is Continental Airlines' flight 1545 to Houston which has just made an emergency return to Hopkins minutes after suffering a bird strike on departure. Here, the 737 is just exiting runway 06L and is being chased by the emergency vehicles present to make sure there are no immediate safety concerns. After returning to the gate it was determined that the number one engine had ingested at least one gull, and some of the blades were damaged. May 26, 2007
