Seems like they: a) forgot to turn on the APU by instinct after recognition of the second engine failure; b) didn’t remember/have time to apply the “Emer Landing (all eng fail)” procedure; or c) they did start it, but there wasn’t enough time for the APU to spool up and get the generator online. The last one I hardly doubt it, because I remember seeing the APU intake flap closed in the first photos we saw of the aircraft, right before it crashed.

It would/will be very interesting to see how they managed the dual engine failure, after all the mess that happened right before...
