Is it conceivable that the RH engine had already shut down and the approach was continued and subsequently the LH engine shuts down at 600' AGL and is still windmilling at impact.

The pictures of the turbo machinery seem to indicate such a scenario, i.e little or no fan damge to the RH engine and a contained fan blade separation of the LH engine.

So, the "failure" of both engine control systems may not have been a simultaneous event as previously speculated. Does this, once more, indicate a fuel starvation / contamination issue.
