Ash clouds flame-out jet engines, leading to ditching in the water in one piece; not mid-air explosions With all engines out power for the hydraulics is either nil or extremely limited. From 37000 feet you would lose power to control on the way down as opposed to the miracle on the Hudson where sully still had some hydraulics as he was close to the ground.
Did they definitely say it blew up high? I did t read that
