Narrative:

In sum: this almost illegible report seems to say that their aircraft had suffered a bird strike on the right side of the radome. The aircraft was inspected and written off. However, the left engine was not inspected. While in cruise at 9000 ft, they received a warning indicating a duct leak in the left engine. They followed all procedures, shut down the left engine and declared an emergency. They diverted to mco without further problems.
