Didn't expect that from you.
The aircraft probably wasn't entirely level during 'touchdown'.
Then one of the main gears was shedded, the other was stoved through the wing.
With such dynamics, you expect both engines to 'shovel' up the same amount of dirt? Come on....
Let the AAIB sort out at what rpm the engines were.
