My bad. I remember reading the NTSB report but I think it was about 2 years ago. I recall they failed to gain enough airspeed to do a windmill restart and they were criticized for not getting the aircraft down to the airport below them. It bothers me when I see and read inacurate reporting my the media on our specialized trade.
