Bloggs, so you're comfortable with the idea that if the pilot accidently bumps the TOGA switch while reaching for the reverse levers, you should get full forward thrust?
My point precisely, TDracer. Why are the TOGA buttons anywhere near the reverser levers? On other aeroplanes, the GA buttons are on the back of the throttles; no chance of bumping them when pulling Reverse.

Of course, flight test pilots are competent. Apparently not all pilots the SLF trust their lives to have that advantage...
Those guys did not go flying that day to not bother to check TOGA when they needed it (if indeed that is what happened). Don't slip into the group of "they stuffed it up, no more to see, move along please".
