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.
When you consider that birds usually fly in flocks, and the engines aren't very far away from each other, I'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen MORE often.
