   Serious apparent failure of the electronics for sure for whatever reason.   
   Still no mention of   
   whether there was a general electrical power fault. Hmmm, but the throttles   
   should still respond to   
   manual operation since the FADEC gets its own power from permanent magnet   
   alternators driven   
   directly by the engines and shouldn't be bothered by main power bus faults.   
      
   It's all VERY odd.
