Early days of the B747 QF had a double failure at YSSY , a birdstrike ---- seagulls?. Fortunately, the aircraft was light. Same for ANZ at Christchurch early '90s, the aircraft was light.
In piston day, there were several examples of a runaway prop taking out an engine on the other side of the aircraft.
The only double failures (and no re-start) in a twin that comes to mind are: an SAS MD82 --- ice ingestion, not initially mechanical failure per se. Same same with a B737 in US, hail/heavy rain, landed on the levy bank beside a river. Not to mention the "Adventure on the Hudson". Maybe CASA should take action against unregulated birds.
But that is from an imperfect memory, not a comprehensive record.
Tootle pip!!
Drop it into Google, there have been a few!
