OK, I'll bite one more time...
You're both right - there were two events on the 767 where the pilots shutdown both engines immediately after takeoff. One was JT9D-7R4, one was the CF6-80A. The first event was the JT9D (UAL sounds right but I'm not 100% positive) - one engine restarted, the other went into a non-recoverable stall. The pilot circled back around and landed right away on the one good engine. After that event the general feeling was that the pilot was an idiot for making such a silly mistake. Then the second event occurred, which was the CF6 out of LA which continued on to Cinci with the RAT merrily buzzing away.
That's when we realized we had a serious problem and the EEC switches were relocated to the overhead - with the infamous 'half a broomstick' interim fix.
