how come the airplane was in normal law after dual engine failure? FCOM says that if flight control computers detect G+Y hyd failure, it goes into alternate law. isn't it?

were the engines windmilling enough to keep the hydraulics system pressure above 1450psi?

or did the flight crew selected yellow pump on after turning the APU on?

NTSB report is not clear about it..
