Lookin' more likely

They found no evidence of organic matter after the second engine was pulled
from the bottom of the river. Heh.


Of course, they did say they saw evidence of a soft body strike. *So it's NOT
likely. *


The soft body strike was limited to the lip of the engine. *Blades
are apparently intact, according to what I read. *The second engine
did not at first glance ingest a bird, but we'll have to wait for
more total information.

The flight data recorder showed that both engines died
simultaneously. It was birds in both. See
