Hi,

It's early yet. there will be more info as the weeks pass, but the final
report will tell the tale.


According to a BBC report I heard on the way home tonight (it's the BBC, so
it *must* be true!), the pilot (the Captain wasn't flying at the time
apparently) reported that the engines didn't respond to the demand or
thrust, so they're calling it 'engine failure'.

Like I say, that's the initial report (and via a news agency, so might need
to be taken with a pinch of salt).
