A two disk-failure is catastrophic, sorry. If the data is valuable, you

recover your data otherwise that I know of, unless you can by some
miracle get one of the two failed disks to work long enough to get your
data off.
The double-disk failure really is an Achilles heal for RAID-5. I'm
installing a new disk array at work that is 10 raw terabytes. I'll be
making it a RAID-6 (which is really RAID-5 but with two parity stripes
instead of one), which should help mitigate this. There's no substitute
for a backup, though!
Don't forget data recovery centers cost an arm & a leg most of the time.
