(my similar earlier post somehow was not posted)

One year ago in Irkutsk (Russia) it was somewhat similar
disaster. After landing and deployment of a reverser A-310
suddenly got full forward power and hit concrete structure.
Oficial report blaims crew that (allegedly) unintentionally moved main gear
while disengaging reverser. Second reverser was INOP (MEL)
for several days. Many pilots disputed this alleged strange hand kinetics
and suggest that wrong INOP reverser locking procedure may
cause mulfunction -- unexpected forward power.

Initial guessing were long speedy landing and G/A but non were proven right. Black boxes revealed normal landing and no GA attempt. In contrary,
pedal breaks were applied all the way, but full forward power moved
the plane to concrete structure. Apparently, the crew did not recognized
full power...

RIP.
