More speculations (waiting for the flames...)
It has been suggested that the aircraft ran out of fuel or at least neither engine was running - a cyclist nearby reported that the aircraft was very quiet on approach.
I don't buy the low fuel scenario - I'm not a 737 pilot but I am sure that they have low fuel warnings, the crew would have been aware of their fuel levels and would have called at least for priority or emergency before hand...yes?
If neither engine was running (speculation..do we know this for sure yet?) then could it be fuel starvation similar to or like the BA 777 incident. I guess icing is not an issue so what I mean is that both engines shut down late on approach.
What about avionics failure or FADEC failure in these conditions - how does the 737-800 behave under the scenarios (however unlikely?)
Was the aircraft properly configured for approach and landing?
Sorry if some of these have been answered it is getting difficult to wade through this thread a bit...
