Whilst I think many of the conclusions presented above are probably correct, before we jump to conclusions and blame the crew . Perhaps we should wait until the facts are in . there could well be other issues involved
No one has yet looked at maintenance , it is possible that the crew were handed a deck stacked against them
Unfortunately according to the preliminary reports , the right engine failed or developed problems shortly after take off and auto feathered , then for some inexplicable reason the crew shut down the good engine as well . It is reported that they were trying to relight the engine when they crashed but it never gained sufficient thrust to avert a disaster .There is no apparent reason yet for the second engine loss of thrust, shutdown and relight. Perhaps trying to recover thrust following an engine surge / stall
Contaminated fuel is a possibility .
The stall warning was heard on numerous occasions
