Starting to sound like a bird strike.....Guy did a great job getting that brick on the ground.

Dunno...from the article, it sounds like BOTH engines lost power at the same time, and plus there had apparently been a history of electrical problems with these specific plane models in BA’s fleet.

One area of specific interest will be the electrical system after it emerged yesterday that there had been at least 12 serious incidents of overheating, causing "major damage" to power panels on at least four occasions.

Probably the culprit...

Both engines?

[A.A. Cunningham]

No evidence of a birdstrike as preliminary examination reveals that there is slight disc damage to only the port engine and none to the starboard. Speculation amongst 777 pilots is now that it was likely a dual FADEC failure or fuel contamination.

What do you base that conclusion on? Other reports indicate there are no bird remains in either engine, both of which were still intact.

Bird strike or lack of fuel can be ruled out as causes
