What needs to be mentioned is that having lost power, they failed to maintain a safe speed. If memory serves, the aircraft stalled and entered an incipient spin. It was also above MTOM so even if it had been correctly handed, its climb performance would have been somewhat limited at best. Not Performance A

Easy to say after the event, but a force landing ahead would have been the answer. This of course goes against the grain with a multi engined aircraft.
