Dear fcom,
I have earlier, 2/3, 8/4, 1-5/5 and 3-4/7 (July) 2008, been writing, on this thread, about my theory, that core-icing, due to an ineffective or "turned off" engine anti-ice system, had the engines hesitate, and after "landing" just melt away.
This can also have been the cause in Amsterdam (TK1951)
So have a look, and let me know, if you have had the same thoughts.
