Texas has a ton of engineers. I’m in the 134k license number there. Im like 73k in Florida.Man I thought I jumped back in the World's GOAT Thread today, but somehow landed in a "pillow-fight of nerds".
Can you please take your "pocket-protectors" and "slide-rules" and start your own thread?
Thanks,

A "Bird Strike" does not account for why they landed with their landing gear still retracted.
I understand why most would agree with your statement.
However, it is very possible. There is a reason that both planes suffered from the same thing. I will explain.
A jet engine has thousands of increasingly smaller fan blades in the intake front. This area of a jet engine is called the compressor. Because it uses the multiple layers of smaller and smaller fan blades to compress the air it intakes. The blades have to spin fast. Extremely fast. The rest of the engine is not important for this point of how both planes suffered catastrophic failure.
Any large object, such as a seagull or a drone would break a great many of these fan blades. The broken blades would break more and more blades. The centrifugal forces on the broken blades would eject them at such high speeds, some of them will penetrate the fuselage.
Modern aircraft use a “fly by wire” control system. All controls are transmitted from the cockpit to the devices by wire. These control wires are in the wiring harness that goes through the fuselage. They control flaps, tail rudder, and landing gear, etc.
Such penetration of the fuselage as seen in the pics from the first plane accident are consistent with compressor fan blade ejection.
Edit: I do not refer to myself as an engineer.
