Very nearly the case in our household.

Daughter returning on AA flight on Wednesday after six years working in Chicago struck birds on take off which took out the port engine and some hydraulics. Big bang, flames, noise, much vibration and, no doubt, some consternation.

Go around and fly past the tower at ~800 feet to do a 'roll by' (railway term).

Landed safely (thankfully) surrounded by fire engines etc.

All good except for the birds and the engine.

All thanks to the AA flight crew.
