Thanks for posting - a long but intriguing read.

Failure to shut down the starboard engine by not following the checklist was a major safety failing which fortunately does not appear to have contributed to the severity of the situation. As a "mere" CPL with IMC, I can fully understand that when things get hectic, procedures are sometimes not followed as rigorously as should be, but can remember how strongly that necessity was drilled into me as a flight student.

Cabin crew appear to have done an excellent job though. Was this MF? It shows us all what they are really there for and not just making sure our steaks are not over-cooked.
