All just speculation. But it will be looked into.

Another thing among the many things that will be looked into from a low level go-around is if you press the TOGA switches to go-around but TO/GA is inhibited while on the ground. If you don't manually push the thrust levers forward you are trying to go around with idle thrust. I believe it resulted in an MD-80 crash in Thailand.

Added...

Remember...TOGA is inhibited on the ground. As related to this accident. You heard it here first.
