This may be a lightning strike. Noisy and disruptive (scares the peeps)...
... but not a knock-you-out-of-the-sky event....

Agree, not a lightning strike.
Guess: catastrophic engine failure. However, usually only one engine goes at a time, not two. Unless there was some other system failure.

The Air France crash in Toronto (A340) was caused by a lightning strike on landing.
Modern aircraft have to reset if struck by lighting.
