Some Things to Look For

As the aircraft becomes visible are there evidences of visible bird strikes across the width of the aircraft including leading edge devices, inlet cowls, radome, gear bogies etc.

All other multiple engine geese strikes that I'm familiar with also showed aircraft strikes across the frontal surfaces.

Also for the uniqueness of multiple engines involved, previous geese strikes have also involved some birds broken up by impacting the engine inlet cowls before ingestion.

We have heard so far today from passengers about visible fire (engine surge?) evidence from the left engine, has anything been said about the right engine?
