I think that is the root cause of the problem. If the outline of the accident as posted by OnTheNumbers is correct (the video reconstruction strongly suggests that it is), then the problem began when they transitioned to a visual approached and the F/O disconnected the automatics for a manual landing. But instead of disconnecting the AT, he pressed TOGA instead. The CPT took over, but never corrected the first error by disengaging the AT.
