Is there any evidence to show that the continued landing was intentional?
Whilst it goes againts the grain to shine a torch on just one aspect of an accident report the following is of interest:

1.5.4 Knowing the aircraft was very close to the runway the commander stated that his initial response was shock and without visual cues all he was able to do was attempt to maintain the last <<sensed>> pitch attitude and wings level.
In the absence of specific training for this extreme situation who can say how the commander should have reacted?
