Very interesting picture from DIBO. They were quite literally seconds from reaching the clear ground in front of the runway. Dead sticking a medium jet is something we do not seriously train for, I have done it a handful of times in the last twenty years of sim training more for fun when time was left over than real training. If the picture of the aircraft post first attempt at landing is to be believed then the gear was up. When they selected it down would have been crucial on the second attempt and may well have made the difference to reaching the runway or at least landing short but everyone surviving like the British Airways 777 at Heathrow and the sad result we see here. Rob Dean's post 192 sums up pretty well what may well have led up to this.
