Why do birds getting sucked into a jet engine cause such trouble? The engine can lift a jet, so how is it not powerful enough to chew up some bird bones with no problem?
Not an expert but those turbine blades are spinning at massive speeds. Even something small, when hit at speed is going to cause some damage, and then as soon as there is damage to the blades, the whole thing is going to become unbalanced, probably causing a cascade of damage.
