It is really surprising to see that both engines lost power at (almost) the same time, and in addition, they both came to same low RPM (above flight idle). In case of ice obstruction, it's already quite unlikely to expect a simultaneous event, but how can it lead to a similar low thrust setting on both engines ???
It means both ice obstructions did let a similar leak on both sides...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but up to now, it's only the indicated fuel quantity that was reported, not the actual fuel found in the wreckage...
I just want to remind that Tunintair had a fuel exhaustion accident while indications were showing adequate fuel on board... Is it really impossible to consider low fuel conditions causing the cavitation in high pitch attitude ?
