You have obviously already decided that the crew made a big mistake and should lose their licenses when you do not have the faintest idea of what they were faced with.
Let us just suppose, for example, that a flock of seagulls took out BOTH engines on rotation just how do you imagine that they would still be able to go flying?
Exactly that happened to a friend of mine at NCL in a BAC 1-11 some years ago. They did a great job of stopping the aircraft in what was left of the runway and ended up in the grass just off the end with everything and everybody intact (except for the engines).
