Panic, and shut down the wrong engine. Common mistake, although I don't suppose that it would have made much difference, in the circumstances.

From the above link;

When Liao Chien-tsung's body was found, he was still clutching the joystick, which officials believe is proof "he was still trying to save the aircraft until the last minute".

I would have thought that was stating the bleeding obvious.

Kegworth, 1989.

Basics. The aeroplane should be able to fly on one engine, and so should the pilots. For whatever reason, they stalled and crashed.

As for the avoiding the nunnery/orphanage/school/hospital - sadly as soon as that left wing drops it was curtains. Well, it was probably curtains the moment they shut down the wrong engine (if that is what happened).
