I'm afraid that Norman SF didn't state the full Habsheim scenario. It was worse than that ! The pilot disabled the autothrust, and flew above the runway at radio height 30 feet at alpha max (almost stall), with the copilot controlling the thrust - almost at idle. The trees at the end were about 80 feet high. TOGA was not applied until about 4 seconds before impact. What is the spool up time of a jet engine on the approach ?? Exactly !! The accident was bound to happen as soon as the aircraft was less than 8 seconds from the trees. At impact the engines were spooling rapidly towards TOGA.
Given the same scenario, that accident would have ocurred in a B747, B737, DC9 or ANY turbojet aircraft.
