So they descended on one engine, which should not be a problem. Then something else popped up prompting a mayday. That could be anything: Fire in the engine, other engine failure, wrong engine shut down, etc... I guess the answer must come from the boxes.
Strength to the families.
Kind regards, Vincent

Did you notice, there is always this peak in accidents like that before Christmas? No idea why, but it feels that way.
