Indeed but it is nothing new: this case reminds me very much of the Turkish crash here at EHAM (deep stall at short final, a 738 was flaring / retarding throttles mid-air after a single radio altimeter failure resulting in a zero altitude reading, this also happened on previous flights of that aircraft but was dealt with promptly, the cause of the RF problem was poorly understood).
