In my experience when mainstream media reports on a subject with which I am familiar they almost always get key details wrong. I therefore assume the same is true on all of their reporting.
In aviation accidents specifically, the reporting of 'what went wrong' is almost guaranteed to be wrong. As such, I think a general conversation about 'what should one due with a total electrical failure' could be quite interesting - but its relevance at this stage to this particular accident is just about nil.
dd,
I am assuming your aversion to single engine flight extends to over hostile terrain, over a cloud deck and IMC. Which is fine, a reasonable number of people are twin operators because of that. On the other hand, quite a large number of of people operate singles in such circumstances and the outcomes are not that dissimilar to twins (a surprisingly large number of twins go into the drink around the UK coastline).
