Watching fox news..."an eyewitness said the power and avionics cut off and it had to glide in". How would an eyewitness know the avionics cut off? The other report said it was louder then normal. The plane probably wouldn't be real loud if it was gliding in. Whatever, it'll be interesting to see what comes of it. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

This is a REALLY bizzare situation...the airplane was coming from India, so it should have already burned off enough fuel to fly just fine on one engine.
All I can think of is damage to both engines...birds maybe? Or maybe a serious flight control problem.
