-The statements I read from the NTSB said that because everyone
survived and the incident occurred in a metropolitan area under heavy
video surveillance, the situation was ideal for investigators.

-All the crew and passengers reported the same thing.  Bang, fuel
odor, quiet (not "idling" noises, NO noise).  Flight attendants
described the plane being "quiet as a library".  The black box was
recovered and found no evidence of this supposed engine control unit
intervention, nor did it contradict any of the witness reports.

-The co-pilot tried multiple times to re-light the engines.  Idling
engines do not need re-lighting.

-The APU activated, as did the Ram Air Turbine.  Seems unlikely if
both engines were idling.

-The NTSB reported that the birds were larger than what engines are
designed to withstand.  The pilot described flying directly into a
"large flock."

As Cobram pointed out, this isn't an NTSB list.  I posted only to keep
another birther or idiotic 9-11 rumor from getting furthered.  I've
said all I can say.
