That wasn't your claim, though. You spoke of double-bird-strikes, of which there are multiple per year.

So far this year, it's happened at least twice resulting in engine failure.

Jan - Air New Zealand NZ207 - aborted take off following dual bird strikes and both engines damaged.

~~Mar - Ryanair FR 4102 - dual bird strikes on landing resulting in injuries and hull loss.~~

Before that, in December 2024, Jeju Air Flight 2216 crashed on landing following dual bird strikes, resulting in the loss of all PAX.

These aren't as rare as you believe they are.



Ryanair FR 4102 apparently happened in 2008, not March. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair_Flight_4102
