Narrative:
Shortly after liftoff at lga, sustained multiple bird strikes causing #2 engine to fail. This was accompanied by strong aircraft vibration. Declared emergency and decided to proceed to jfk for landing. Worked multiple checklists and shut down right engine assuming severe damage. Got vectors from ATC for ILS runway 22 at jfk. No problem extending flaps or gear although aircraft was still experiencing vibration. Landed under weight without incident at jfk. Inspection by ground personnel confirmed extensive engine damage as well as fuselage damage. Had gear pins installed even though no apparent damage to gear and proceeded normally to gate.
