It's amazing how every witnessed aircraft crash starts with engine failure and yet it almost never turns out to be the case.
The unreliable and traumatized witnesses can't help themselves after seeing flaming debris catapulted into the air along the flightpath. But the political representatives of the country typically give credence to reports of engine failure by their press releases.
This again is picked up by the news hungry press anxious to be the first to satisfy the publics hunger for blame. Yet within these first reports there is no learning or signs of "we got it wrong". Instead the same cycle of ignorance is repeated for the next accident as well.
At least on PPRune ignorance has a way of being corrected
