To duwde and other non-pilots on this thread: try to remember that there are thousands of landings in A320 series aircraft every day for almost twenty years now. It is very likely that the same error or mistake that was the main factor in this crash (IF in fact it was the non-retardation of the TL to idle on eng#2), has already happened on many occasions. On virtually all of the occasions when this error happened, it was corrected swiftly and had no ill effect, other than a bruised ego. As a matter of fact, it is certain that thousands of potentially fatal errors were dealt with successfully since the aircraft's introduction. You have to keep things in this perspective - this was an extremely unlikely event that took place, that an error might have gone uncorrected, and it will take a very detailed and lengthy investigation to come up with any probable causes as to why an error was not dealt with successfully. It is quite likely that none of the professional pilots on this thread will be able to provide any meaningfull insight into the reasons why an error was not corrected, even if they get some details about the circumstances of this crash, and we are pretty far from having details yet.
