Chatting to two ex-pat F28 captains with Biman today, another little snippet came out.

The engines ran for nearly 3 hours after the incident as the controls from the flight deck were disrupted.

It'll make an interesting report when it comes out.

When you consider the evacuation aspects of engines still running it blows your mind.

Seems to me that the aircraft's nose down attitude probably SAVED lives as passengers would have evacuated towards a running engine's intake.
