1 engine went kaput, pilot shut down the wrong engine resulting in lost of both engines and crashed.

Yup, I remember the Kegworth crash - was watching the live coverage on BBC then...

 

In that case, the error was not obvious to the pilots until they throttled the defective engine up for the landing.The pilots were later sacked.

Regularly use that case in CRM and HPL discussions.

It appear that the pilots have shut down the wrong engine. Must have been overwhelmed by the critical situation.

Here's the selfie in question. Not really a selfie per se

That is just plain stupid. No empathy or what-so-ever. I would very much like to see them taking selfie, if their love ones died in the plane.

Just wondering whenever such disastrous incident happen will the airplane manufacturer issue any directive/reminder to airlines operating that particularly aircraft type?

Yes, if it is a problem with the aircraft.

 

No if it is bad airmanship - they might issue advisories on training.

Taiwan’s Aviation Safety Council reported the pilots didn’t set programming correctly for one of the ATR 72-600’s turboprop engines before takeoff, which led to reduced thrust under a command called “autofeather” during the climb away from Taipei’s Songshan airport.
