Flash on the Video
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone commented on the flash visible from the left side of the aircraft on the video just before it disappears from view?
One hypothesis: Reverse thrust was selected on Eng 1 (eng 2 rev thrust was deactivated). Pilots realize they will not be able to stop the aircraft and, contrary to the recommendations of the FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual) to execute a full stop after reverse thrust is selected, initiate a go-around by pushing the trust levers to TOGA. An engine going from full rev to full forward thrust could possibly suffer a compressor stall while the reverser doors are closing, causing the flash we see in the video.
A much more likely cause is the engine ingesting fence material etc. on its way out of the airport perimeter.
