yeah... they decided to make planes out of the same material as black boxes because those are indestructible!

All modern turbofan engines have been tested to withstand a bird strike in order to get their certifications.
When a bird hits the fan blades, the fan blades are designed them through the bypass section (basically it goes through the most outward part of the engine, and not through the compressor core). After impact the damaged fan blades are still suitable for flight and the engine should perform fine. There might be more vibrations from the engine than usual.
In this case, its super rare to have engine failures let alone both engines fail from bird strikes. Birds got into the compressor core and the engines failed. I won't say bullshit regarding how it failed..because I don't know.. but this is a very rare circumstance.
Like I said before, in order for an engine to reach certification, it needs to withstand a bird strike, large ice intake, monsoon like storms, and loss of an engine blade in order to get their certification.

^very nice find.
I am still so unbelievably amazed at how the plan managed to stay intact. Can't wait until they do a full simulation on how it landed. Absolutely amazing.

Can't they design a screen mesh in front of turbine? like your mosquito screen or heater/radiator dish screen?

Can't screen the air.
1) Airflow. That's a big engine that needs to breathe a lot of air in and out, and is designed to in a specific way.
2) Icing. Fast moving air at altitude = coooooold. Put a screen mesh with very small aperture openings and you'll have yourself a sheet of ice before the plane even hits cruising altitude.
3) You really think a simple screen will stop a 10-15kg bird from blasting through it at 150-170mph?
