Here is what the pilots are saying: (thanks vrock8)
[The pilots are speaking]
[1st pilot]After that... me and the pilot... saw... a flock of seagulls... that took off in front of us... 6 or 8 of them... In a second they flew left past the pilot's cabin and then got sucked into the left engine... the plane started to tilt to the left immediately with the loss of altitude...
[2nd pilot]We saw that we didn't have enought space on runway for slowing down, so we started turning to the left... After that we started hitting the ground... lights "alternating overload" flashing on the control panel...
[1st pilot] And after that one last, the scariest hit... the horisontal one... after that the plane stopped... I asked the passengers "are you alive?" they answered "alive". The passengers started to exit the plane through the side door and the back door... half of the plane was already on fire at the time.
[2nd pilot] When we gave them the command "all away from the plane" nobody panicked, everybody did their best...
