This is what i know about the incident.
The Captain is still on stress leave and looks as though he won't come back.
The incident is under serious investigation.
I have heard that they were seconds from crashing.
There was a check captain in the cockpit of this flight, i believe it was his voice we could here on the recordings. "whats going on, whats going on?"
There was no windshear reported so it seems that a major error in the cockpit caused this. Possible wrong settings? something not switched on or off?
The aircraft was found to be in full working order.
