Some irritated aviators seem very weary about speculations issued on this thread, nobody knows so nobody should speak !
Anyway, if the account of the accident is right the A/C was at 200 ft when the birdstrikes occurred.
Good weather, copilot PF, he was most certainly flying manual at this height.(I flew FR 738 in CIA quite a few times)
What if the TOGA action every body take for a decision to go around was simply a reflex action when experiencing loss of power.
This happened to me once flying a Jaguar, hitting a big bird in finals, pushing the thottles forward, hearing the multiple bangs of engine surge, looking inside and landing on the good engine remaining.
That's probably what happened when the PF pushed the throttles forward, except that he was left with no engine and landed with poor visibility to the front due to the stains of blood on the windscreen.
Well done chaps.
