Been waiting for Steve Irwin and film crew walk out on the wing and say "now this little bugger is lost, lets see if we can help him find his way back home"

Yeah, it made it to descent, sadly the flaps on landing would have finished it off. If it survived the whole ideal, it would have been against all odds.

I suspect it would have died from hypoxia and cold temp somewhere in the climb or cruise.
The thrashing around would have been a dead snake being blown around in the airflow. NO chance of it getting into the engine from where it was. Even if it could, it would have been a non-event to the PW. I took a full ibis (minus a wing) in a -300 a few years ago after takeoff at Coffs. After we returned, the engineer (who flew over from Tamworth) did a boroscope inspection and said "Apart from a few remnants of Kentucky fried ibis, the engine is fine". I took it back to Sydney, confident that Pratt and Whitney are indeed, "dependable engines" (unlike some Rolls Royce's)
