Unless TOGA mode didn't engage, and when he took his hand off the throttles to control the Go Around, they came back to Idle...
That's what I'm asking myself many times since it happened. Noone could tell me so far the tech details: What will happen if you touched down, pushed the TOGA switches (unsuccesful, because they're inactive), pushed the throttles and let them go: Are they staying where they are, are the going forward, are they moving backwards.

Simple question - and the most simple way to explain the accident.

Is there no 777 driver around who knows this question?

Thanks,
Dani
