In 2008 a Ryanair 737 Ryanair had multiple bird strikes into Rome Ciampino and lost an engine on approach. They decided to do a goaround but the other engine failed and they ended up crashing onto the runway resulting in a hull loss.
We debated it extensively at the time on here and was no surprise that Ryanair made a very public award and thank you to the Pilots involved.
It was a superb piece of flying to get that aircraft on the ground intact after the bird strikes.
Don't think the accident report has ever been published for this.
