Two good engines -- can give more thrust than you might need for an easy fly-out:

HAVARIKOMMISJONEN FOR SIVIL LUFTFART
OG JERNBANE (HSLB)

Scary incident, thankfully no injuries !

Does the "TOGA" button always supply the same thrust ? .. i.e is there such a thing as a "derated TOGA" ? ... (asks the C172 pilot )

Otherwise, with only 75 passengers on a 757, vs a fully loaded one I would think that the go-round behavior of the plane would be quite different for those two extremes. Maybe that's what contributed to this incident ?
