What happens when a bird is sucked into the airplane engine?

Introduction
When a bird is sucked into the engine, it is called a bird strike. Bird strikes are very common and they happen very often. Of course, if a bird enters the engine, it would be very rare for the engine to still be working. Nowadays, the engines can resist the bird, but that doesn't mean it would still work. Nowadays, the engine would not explode.

The Miracle on the Hudson
Known as the most successful ditching in aviation, Captain Sully Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff Skiles together managed to get an Airbus A320-214 in the Hudson after striking large flocks of Canadian Geese during takeoff and climb.The Captain initially planned to turn around and land but figured that he was unable. He also considered landing at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, but also figured he was unable. He had one final choice, the Hudson River, which was the best runway he had. By doing so, he saved the lives of all 155 on board.
