I hate to be a party pooper, BUT..... I can't help but wonder how it is that BOTH engines were so badly damaged by bird ingestion that they could not continue to fly. I don't believe this has ever happened before. Has it?
Not only with twin engine jet aircraft but also a E-3A (Boeing 707) at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska.
