The E&E bay had no direct relation with the accident itself, but as the NTSB pointed out, everytime the nose goes into the water after an overrun, all the electronic equipment suffer the most... in that case, the crew was unable to shut eng 1 down, and it was still at full power during the evacuation (which took place after a considerable dalay...).
Where would I place it? somewhere else, in the roof maybe!
