Almost a DC9!
MD-81?

On December 27, 1991, SAS 751, an MD-81 crash landed at Gottröra, Sweden. In the initial climb both engines ingested ice broken loose from the wings (which had not been properly de-iced before departure). The ice damaged the compressor blades causing compressor stall. The stall further caused repeated engine surges that finally destroyed both engines, leaving the aircraft with no thrust. The aircraft landed in a frozen field and broke in three parts. No fire occurred and all aboard survived.
