The fuselage was headed directly away from the camera on the video. The camera was biased to the runway by some angle. The heading therefore would reflect the same angle.
If fuel starvation, one would predictably fail some time earlier than the other. The 777 from Beijing showed a similar close failure on the dry approach to LHR? Not trying to link FADEC to auto flight recovery from OEI. Perhaps the flow of fuel was somewhat intermittent. Perhaps the obstruction cleared at some point, allowing the engines to stop sputtering and regain thrust. Then again, perhaps the RAT was causing the "Racing" sound.... I think the answer is to be found in some simpler solution than cosmic rays, and "vanishingly small" goblins. Fuel starvation of some description...... Lack of fuel pressure, cavitation, blockage, or some more complex issue, of course. Fuel, Air, Compression, Thrust .....
Or, more precisely, Air, Compression, Fuel, Thrust (and Fan)
Complexity fosters Perplexity
