I'm wondering why the engines seem to have been at high thrust in both accidents, this one and the Lion Air.

I'd imagine it to be a bit difficult to get to 383 knots at impact from 1000 feet agl, starting at 230kts say clean, at idle, because I imagine one of the first things one would do when the nose tipped over is reduce to idle.
