Airbus Hydraulic system question.
In the Rumours and News section, they have been talking about the Jetblue A320 double hydraulic system failure.

Some of the discussion on there has been about, if the A320 loses all three of the systems, then its thank you and goodnight.

So that got me thinking (always a bad thing), what are the chances of losing all three systems?

Could an un-contained engine failure wipe out all three?

Multiple birdstrikes?

What would have to be the worst case scenario of losing all three systems?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum sub section.

It's unlikely but has happened in the past... On a DC-10 and an airbus in Afganistan. In the case of the DC-10 the fan rotor destroyed the pipelines to the elevator/rudder and HYD fuel leaked.

In the case of the air bust it was shot at by a bazooka
