It could be that with the rear mounted engines, with an uncontained engine failure they had control cables damaged.
Could also be that they were unable to maintain the airspeed required to maintain directional control due to when the engine failure occured.
Just because you have 2 engines doesn't mean that you'll always have a successful outcome from an engine failure - to be honest in GA sometimes you're better with one, at least you know what the outcome will be, you maintain directional control & can plan for the final outcome from the onset.
