If a rogue turbine blade can take out all three hydraulic systems on a DC10 then a single bird can take out a twin engine aircraft.
They could have gotten unlucky with an uncontainable engine failure and high engergy parts shedding.
And being overly pedantic for a moment.....the term ..’bird hit’ does not exclude multiple birds.
