Veethree. The A320 accident you refer to has been covered pretty well over the years. FYI the aircraft was an AF a/c F-GFKC MSN 009 which had only completed 22 hours and 15 cycles.

The AF crew were approved to do a flyover at 100' but the AF Management Capt descended to about 30' with engines at flight idle.

This level was below the level of obstacles in the area and at the time of impact the engine speed was 83% N1. 9After GA power applied)

The report was critical of the 'crew' and said late application of go-around power was partly to blame. It was a miracle that the accident only resulted in 3 fatalities out of 136 on board.
