We shoudn't have to wait long, they've got both engines
now and it should be deterministic whether each one
ingested a bird causing damage.

The black boxes alone will show if the crew shut down either engine
before it was showing damage. I do not expect that they did though.
I hope the final accident report is published here, or at least a link
to it. Should be interesting.
