But, could it happen on an Auto-Throttled aircraft?
Lemmmesee... does B747 have autothrust or autothrottles? Keywords are Quantas and Bangkok.
EDIT: I apologise for mixing-up a couple of jumbo-overruns; Quantas at Bangkok wasn't caused by not retarding throttle(s), however, Air China at HongKong and Air France at Faaa, were.
Don't blame Airbus philosophy - while it's different compared to "conventional" aircraft and takes a lot of re-learning, there's no empirical evidence that it's less safe. However I do agree that FWC that shouts "RETARD!" untill all the levers are near idle would most likely prevent the accident but pulling all the throttles back for landing must have seemed so natural to AB designers that they never considered the scenario that was played at Congohas.
