My guesses: the plane ran out of fuel; the pilots failed or were unable to transfer or access fuel internally; or the fuel was contaminated with condensate water. My guess is that the immediate cause will be determined fairly quickly and completely, with lots of arguing to follow as to whether and how human factors contributed.

You wouldn’t want to deal with any of those on final approach.

My guess? One of the Pilots neglected to turn on the "igniters" when on approach. When on short final, and
reduced jet engine speed, the slowed (and cooling) turbines have a tendency to stall operation unless the "igniters" are
activated to induce combustion.

That, or another case of DEI in action.
