Since when is an engine failure a "cause" of an accident?

Tellingly, this slipped through the Herald's editorial staff:

"There were no cockpit audio recordings of the crash to assess whether Hertz panicked but in the earlier test flight when power was lost an accompanying engineer said the pilot handled the situation "quite well". "

As opposed to the official accident report:

"The engineer who was on board the aircraft for the flight on 8 March 2013 stated that during the power loss the pilot did not handle the situation very well."

Perhaps Mr Matenga could leave this to the experts...
