Did another one fail during the resync? If not you can try to
reassemble the array with only the 2 good disks using --force.

If a second disk failed you're in trouble. Since the array stopped at
the moment of the second failure, the two disks are still in sync.
Well, almost... You can then make an image of the second failed disk
on a good one and use --force to reassemble again. Then fsck...
