Limited info

The recent AD seems to admit that similar (very similar) fuel feed troubles might happen, and so they recommend some preventive actions.

Authorities keep silent about one information and one procedure that might have saved the day, and according to the hypothesis of trouble reccurence, would as well save other flights in the future.

The information : best glide speed (or AOA) in different configuration (landing config, approach config ...)

The procedure : permissible cleanup actions as required in such dramatical circumstances.

In the las 12 months, we learned that multiple engine failures are not as exceptionnal as we think ...

Perhaps less exceptionnal than a single engine failure right at V1, on a limited runway ...
