The engines initially responded but, at a height of about 720 ft, the thrust of the right engine reduced. Some seven seconds later, the thrust reduced on the left engine to a similar level. The engines did not shut down and both engines continued to produce thrust at an engine speed above flight idle, but less than the commanded thrust.

It is interesting to think what could actually cause two separate engines, fuel pumps, filters, etc.... to reduce thrust to "a similar level" but not at the same time.

It is the "similar" which is so intriguing. They could have used so many words and that one could mean anything or NOTHING.
