Just checking (I probably missed somewhere0

Was the missing WOW swiitch on the one gear due to a faulty switch or indeed there was no weight on wheels due to high speed ?

If this switch does not activate does it mean no spoliers or reverse on all engines?

After the capt commanded the engines off why did the reversers deploy or was it after the deployment?

I'm led to believe that WOW switches sometimes fail and most pilots accomodate this failure mode by not commanding full reverse and relying on brakes. Is the causal chain in this case that simple or was there a significant pucker factor added into the scenario by too high a touchdown speed as well leaving little time to sort things out?
