If it's really true that the crosswind caused the compression stall, I
wonder why we don't hear about a double stall very often. Theoretically, the
wind can be strong enough to affect both engines, no?


A gusty crosswind is probably the most common cause of compressor
stalls on commercial flights. Of course, that doesn't mean that
anytime there's a crosswind that turbofans will be belching fire left
and right. It's not that common. You have to get just the right
level of disruption in the airflow. With any given crosswind, the
airflow to each engine is going to be different, because of where they
are situated, so it's unlikely that you'd get conditions conducive to
simultaneous compressor stalls.
