Check Airman,
Keep digging for truth and eventually you will get it in this case.
There are more truth to this incident that would of be defiant was accident with lost of one aircraft and 164 sole which turned around by an Expat who was a passenger in that flight and "saved the day".
Note, Crew did two attempt to restart the Healthy Eng Number 1 Eng) but unsuccessful.
It was the expat that restart the Eng number one(Healthy Eng) then the captain of the flight G8-338 requested and ask Expat " Okay I want to shut down number Two Eng now"?
Expat by grading the center thrust lever and after pushing Captains hand away, advice him that "The only time he is going to allow him to shut down any Eng is on the Ground after parking brake set".
