Chris, I know nothing of modern high bypass ratio engines. I suppose
they have stator blade control. A mis-positioned stator could cause a
stall, even at low angle of attack.

I'm wondering as well. Initially, the cause was stated as being a
compressor stall, but I can't imagine that happening on an engine of that sort.
Those generally occur when you have a region of low pressure in front of the
engine while at a high angle of attack. The F-104 was famous for those on
short final, which would cause the aircraft to spin. The pilot would most
likely eject straight into the ground.
I’d be interested to discover what caused it. I suspect a surge of some
sort, but why?
