High Angle of attack or highspeed stall has been known to cause engine surge, lack of acceleration or even blow out
...108 knots = high AofA
But 108 knots did not occur till well after the problem had started,
Unless perhaps there WAS sufficient wind shear coupled with a few knots slow to start with.
Stalled engines trying to spin up would make a lot of noise.Have you ever had or heard a slow start? How long can it take to reach a stable self sustaining speed?
If something like this did occur,engines being limited by high jpts on the limit should show on the FDR and QAR ? as well as airspeeds
