I was there when both episodes happened.
It rather reminds me of the 737 attempting to land in marginal weather at East Midlands.
During the high workload on finals they got a totally inappropriate radio call that resulted in the autopilot being disconnected in error and reconnected as the pilot tried to reply, the resulting crash left the left main gear behind as the aircraft continued on to its final crash landing at Birmingham...
