We seem to be loosing the plot with a lot of technical jargon in this incident.
On a visual approach look out of the window, which you should already be doing, and if the piano keys on the runway end are about to end up in your 777 flight deck, there are only two things to decide, either push the thrust levers forward which you should already have in your hands during a visual approach, and go around. Or crash.
Don't wait for the Automatics to save you, you can work out afterwards what went wrong, either crew errors with AP/AT mode confusion, or a technical fault.
