Fuel leaked out when it crashed, according to first rapports. Fortunately, main gears didn't puncture the tanks so no fire. Also, engines feed trought different pumps and ofte, different tanks. They don't "stop respondin" simultaniously but flame out independently accompanied by lot's of warning bells and lights.

Same with contaminated fuel...unlikely that they would both just quit or stop responding at the same time if fuel was bad.

No bird impacts on engines either...maybe water in fuel freezed in feed pipes prior to feed transfered to central tank and it just coincided with landning?

Or freek "throttle lever sender sensor snapped" thing?
