However, having four engines is no guarantee of a happy ending if you take out two with birds while taking off:

Off the top of my head, these are the only major jetliners I know of to go down due to a bird strike in the last 25 years...
Didn't RYR lose a 737 down in Italy around the same time due to a massive bird strike. No loss of life there, but no-body remembers that crew.
