The engine never failed. A hole got punched into the gas tank that then caught on fire.
The flight engineer inadvertantly shut down the engine when he saw the fire warning.
The plane was doomed before it ever left the gate. It was overloaded and the cg was too far to the rear. Plus the pilot took off with the wind to his back which is a bad idea.
There was a great special on this crash the other night on TLC
