I am sure the crew did wonderful, however, to play Devils Advocate. How often have you heard of a bird strike causing one engine to flame out, let alone two? According to Flight Aware, the aircraft made it to 3200 feet, possible on one engine. Perhaps, maybe I am reaching, during all the confusion one of the guys shutdown the wrong engine, I know this has happend before. I hope that is not what happend, but stranger things have happend.
Skywest had a double birdstrike in SLC two years ago on an RJ...one engine totally destroyed, the other damaged beyond repair but they kept it turning long enough to do a quick RTB. Turned out was a mated pair of some large owl species.

My Father says at 6PM the Pilot and the Mayor will be on the news?
Apparently they where on one engine and where trying get to TEB, didnt make it, maybe they lost one engine and the 2nd was trying its hardets but may have let go, after not failing 100%

Ryanair had a 737 lose both engines due to bird ingestion just a couple of months ago. Flew through a flock of birds on short final into Rome.
