Can't figure out how bird strike(s) could preclude gear deployment. It's a hydraulic system on 737 variants, but does have a manual override that uses old fashioned cables and linkages, plus a long, detailed check list on what to do if landing gear hydraulics fail for whatever reason. Just can't figure out how a bird strike could compromise the aircraft's hydraulic system to this extent. Lots of redundancies. Strange, very strange.
