Just debunked at the NTSB briefing going on -- no sign of bird strike! No internal failure of the engine according to preliminary inspection.

I had the pleasure (?)of doing contract work in a plant that manufactured the engines. One of the tests was to throw chickens into the engine. To my knowledge a chicken never stopped an engine.

I wonder which NTSB member was sent on the errand to find and kill the birds to bring back to the investigators to plant in the engines? Where is PETA when you need them?
