FOD BIRD STRIKE ON AN FK100 CREATES SMOKE AND FUMES WITHIN THE ACFT WHICH HAS TO RETURN LAND AT DFW; TX.

Narrative

SHORTLY AFTER TKOF; WHILE STILL IN MY JUMP SEAT; I HAD JUST FINISHED MAKING MY FIRST SET OF PA'S TO THE PAX. JUST AFTER THAT; WITHIN SECONDS; I HEARD A LOUD BANG SOUND. IT SEEMED ALMOST INSTANTLY A FOUL SMELL FILLED THE CABIN. I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND CALLED THE FLT ATTENDANT IN BACK AND ASKED HER IF SHE HEARD THE SOUND; SHE SAID NO; BUT THAT THE CABIN WAS FILLING WITH SMOKE AND THAT SHE HAD PULLED THE HALONS OUT. WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE; THE CAPT PICKED UP AND TOLD US TO 'STAND BY.' I KNEW THEN HE WAS AWARE THERE WAS A PROB AND THAT HE WOULD GET BACK WITH US. WE HUNG UP AND GOT OUT OF OUR JUMP SEATS SO THAT WE COULD OBSERVE WHAT WAS GOING ON SO WE COULD INFORM THE CAPT ONCE HE GOT BACK WITH US. IT WAS THEN THAT FIRST CLASS PAX AND PAX IN MAIN CABIN ON THE R SAID THAT WE HAD HIT A FLOCK OF BIRDS; WE EVEN SAW THE DAMAGE OF THE WING. AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM THE CAPT -- I CALLED HIM BACK AND TOLD HIM EVERYTHING FROM THE DENT IN THE WING TO THE SMOKE THAT HAD DISSIPATED TO THE FOUL SMELL. SHORTLY AFTER WE WERE PREPARING FOR LNDG. EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO FAST AND I BELIEVE THE COCKPIT CREW WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND WE ALL REACTED QUICKLY; CALM AND AS PROFESSIONAL AS WE (FLT ATTENDANTS) COULD; EVEN THOUGH WE WERE SHAKEN UP.
