Initial investigations seem to find the aircraft could not maintain the centre line, drifted to the left and the left gear entered the soft ground and collapsed resulting in a sharp yaw to the left, apparently compounded by right engine power. Prior to touchdown there is suggestion the the FO was pf and elected to GA, pressed TOGA but Captain took control and landed. Maybe asymmetric reverse, but looking at the pictures it is closed, which suggests any asymmetric reverse was cancelled prior to the skid, apparently most of the investigation is complete, which suggests the causes have been positively identified. Just for info, the LD with AB3 F30 1874 AB2 F30 2417 with one reverser inoperative, or 2197 AB2, 1708 AB3 same condition. If the aircraft touched down deep this may explain why they are close to the end at the time of the incident. The waters are really getting muddy!
