I mean, the “tit-for-tat” has been going on since 1947 off and on, and even before that when Pakistan was still part of India. Terrorism is always a possibility until it is ruled out by finding the actual cause. But has anyone seen a reason to suspect foul play??? Been on the rise in recent decades, sure, but still, most incidents, by far, turn out to be accidents, not crimes…
Chicken and egg problem:- was the thrust roll-back caused by the electrical failure or was the electrical failure due to the engine thrust roll-backs?
FADEC throttle problem control? All this bickering and name calling on this post is as sad as all those lives lost!
Some form of thrust roll back is the correct answer. I was told by a former 787 pilot that the thrust levers are not physically connected to the engine fuel controls. In simplistic terms the thrust levers “communicate” electronically with the fuel controls - OK that much is obvious.
“There was a failure of that system. Likely following a major electrical system failure.” is PURE speculation.
PURE speculation. Thrust roll-back yes, anything other than facts gleaned from the videos is speculation:- Flaps down (slats extended - vids and photos), U/c selected up (bogies nose down), RAT extended (clearly visible and distinctive noise on videos), Thrust roll-back / double engine failure ( RPM to idle or low speed, or complete shut-down, not obvious either way)
