   Sure, although I'm not sure "conventional wisdom" states that   
   each engine ingesting a bird simultaneously is all that likely   
   either.   
      
   I'm not sure if you expect bird remains in an engine that lay at   
   the bottom of the Hudson for a week, but there should be   
   blade damage consistent with sucking a bird if the double-bird   
   theory is correct.
