Yes. They had a failure of engine 2, and about 40 seconds later, they shut down engine 1.

It’s pretty unlikely that either pilot managed to hang on to the sidestick in the crash.

It doesn’t look like they had much control of the plane.

Wasn’t the plan theoretically flyable with one engine? Is it possible better training might have helped?
