At about 21:54, the flight crew asked for a lower altitude. and declared an emergency. At about 21:59 the flight crew requested an altitude of 13,000 feet. At 22:08, the flight crew stated that they had a double engine failure and that they wanted a direct route to any airport.

So it took them 14 minutes after having a total flameout and declaring an emergency for these bozos to start heading for an airport.

When I did my multi-engine training, it was a bit surprising that the assumption was that you could almost always get the airplane to fly somewhere, if you only performed the right checklist. Seems like these guys should have asked to be routed toward an airport right off, and if they got it fired up later, then continue on.
