    Weird how the centre of gravity shifted behind the rear wheels when it doesn’t look like a whole lot of plane is missing.

    I wonder if the plane electronics shut down entirely or if if was like that time they couldn’t turn one of the engines off.

      The TRUs are right in the front so most of the electronics probably went off instantly. If I remember correctly the FADEC (engine control) boxes were in the aft equipment bay, so they may have stayed on for a minute, but I have to imagine with that much of the equipment destroyed they probably shut down.
