THE ACFT RECEIVED SUBST DAMAGE DURING AN EMERG LANDING AFTER LOSS OF POWER IN BOTH LEFT & RIGHT ENGINES. THE PLT LANDED THE ACFT IN A RIVER BED WITH THE GEAR RETRACTED DURING THE HOURS OF DARKNESS. THE ACFT WAS SERVICED WITH 10 GALS OF 100LL PRIOR TO DEPARTURE AND THE PLT STATED HE HAD ABOUT 64 GALS IN THE ACFT BEFORE LEAVING HOUSTON.
