   If it had truly STALLED there would have been a far nastier mess. The pilot   
   was just 'stetching' the glide.

   The engines didn't fail. There's clear evidence at least one was turning when   
   it landed. They 'failed' to respond to a call for power. That's where the   
   'failure' is and it looks likely to be electronic to me (or some bizarre fuel   
   quality related issue).
