In this episode, Lufthansa flight 423 (Airbus A340-300), departs from Boston bound for Frankfurt when the aircraft strikes a bird.

The pilot radios the tower, requesting to level off to 10,000 feet to assess an issue.

The engine is badly vibrating, so the pilot determines that a return to Boston is the best course of action.

The aircraft circles back to the airport after dumping fuel.
