Well since we are speculating, and that is all it is until the FDR/CVR data is recovered and analyzed, it sounds like exactly what David said.
No more Jet-A on board!
It is interesting there was no fire, considering the way the MLG came up through the wing box, but with little elec. pwr. available maybe this is why.
I know there are reports of very loud "engine noise" before it went in but to me this sounds like the aircraft probably has a "RAT" (ram air turbine) or "ADG" (air driven generator). Due to its FBW design with only 2 engines. This device automatically deploys in case of a complete loss of elec. pwr. It makes a huge amount of noise. To the average joe it could easily be mistaken for the pilots applying power.
Good thing it was not worse.
Just my .02
