2002 report on Garuda 737 double flameout in 62,000 ft CB

Just found this 2002 accident report on the Garuda B737-300 that had a double flame-out on penetrating a super-cell of 62,000 feet. Adding to the crew woes the aircraft battery was defective resulting in the inability to start the APU. Total electrical failure followed and the 737 belly landed flaps up into a shallow river. One of the most interesting reports I have read. In particular where the engines flamed-out under heavy rain and hail conditions beyond the ability of the engines to recover. The stuff of nightmares.
