QUOTE: I would be surprised that a bird strike would trigger an engine fire on one of those mighty GE90 (maybe a bird flock.. or they were just very unlucky)

"Mighty GE-90"? No engine is bomb proof and it all depends on the cycle life of the engine, what power it's at, the size of the bird(s) and where the fan assembly is struck.
