Not very common for both recorders to stop abruptly before a crash. Unless they lost all power, which means both engines.
This particular plane seems to have been manufactured before backup batteries were required, so without main AC power the recorders would have stopped, standby power doesn't connect to the recorders.
They should have been required to be installed in all previous ones as well.
It's crazy that they weren't. Unusually so (at least the perception so) for the aviation industry.
The last few minutes is the most valuable data!
Shouldn't the RAT automatically deploy with a power loss? Can the APU be turned on if there's a total power loss?
I imagine with four minutes and already at task saturation they may have just forgotten to deploy the gear. I also wonder if they had a single engine when they decided to go around, and then lost power and decided to loop back to runway 19. I also wonder if they decided to keep the gear stowed until final to improve performance, then lost power and forgot to deploy the gear.
I guess some of these things we might never know, especially without the CVR
If both engines failed, that means they would have lost hydraulic power too, which is probably the reason they couldn't extend the landing gear or try to go around a second time.
One of the theories floating around is that a bird strike caused one engine to flame out and the pilots pulled the cutoff switch on the wrong engine. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.
IIRC the emergency landing gear deployment relies solely on gravity to drop and lock them into place, it's a passive system. Not 100% effective, but something that doesn't require a powered system of any kind for emergencies. Even if they didn't lock into place, they would at least deploy, which doesn't seem to have been the case here.
The cutoff to the wrong engine is sadly the most likely given the rest of the context like altitude and already aborting one attempt due to the strike. Lots of things to track that low to the ground, easy to forget you didn't deploy the landing gear the first time when your focus was trying to keep it in the air at that point and then going around and realigning for another attempt while also shutting down an engine.

US announces $25m reward for arrest of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro
The US has announced an increased $25m (£20.4m) reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on the day he was sworn in for a third six-year term in office.
Rewards have also been offered for information leading to the arrest and or conviction of Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. A new reward of up to $15m for Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino has also been offered.
The UK also issued sanctions on 15 top Venezuelan officials, including judges, members of the security forces and military officials.

It's funny how people have shortened the metaphor and completely reversed its meaning.
The original metaphor is that "a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch"
Also, you gotta love how this list continues through not just decades, but so many examples — almost like a trend:
Pro-police officials were first recorded as using the metaphor following the beating of Rodney King and it was used following the shootings of Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, and the murder of George Floyd.
Omg I love that Wiki article
You know it's bad when the second section of the Wikipedia article opens with US war crimes
"The metaphor originally meant that corrupt influence spreads, but is now used to downplay war crimes, ACAB btw" legendary

Vilnius is interested in normalising relations with Beijing, says Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys, since Lithuania needs a functioning embassy in China.Paulius Perminas, BNS (lrt.lt)

Lithuania wants to normalize relations but can't help itself and say China is not democratic, don't acknowledge its past errors and say China is a threat to Lithuania.
Sure, they are masters of diplomacy.

Lithuania's approach reveals a clear contradiction in the context of imperialism. Acknowledging China as undemocratic while seeking “normal” relations highlights the struggle of smaller nations under global capitalism to navigate between principle and necessity.
This reflects the subjugation of weaker states to imperialist powers. Pretending China’s authoritarianism and expansionism are irrelevant is not diplomacy but a concession to capitalist imperialism. History shows us that alliances with empires are inherently unstable and can collapse overnight.
Can Lithuania uphold revolutionary principles and expose China’s nature or succumb to normalization that strengthens global capitalist dominance?
