Both engines fail at the same time? No fire at the crash site? The pilot obviously ran out of fuel and was attempting to land with a dry sump.

Seems another blog brought up wax clogging the filters. All jet fuel contains parrafin wax. If I was a betting man, I would say the fuel was too cold during cruise, and/or the fuel had too much wax, and when the high fuel flow was required the wax caused a restriction in the filters.

The rudder position may give an indication as to which engine failed to accelerate, or went to sub idle first. The rudder is in an unnatural position for a plane skidding to the right. The pilot was probably stepping on the left rudder pedal. Once TAC has been activated the trim cannot be removed. TAC has 60 % authority.
