The Crew made a massive cockup BOTH OF THEM this is not in question.They crashed/destroyed their lovely 777 because they completely screwed up from an unstable condition on or near the ground (failed to ensure enough power was applied regardless of automation status) this is without question.There is not much doubt that the cabin crew did a great job with the evacuation but the PRIMARY reason for this and a lack of injuries was the very fortunate fact that due to the gear being retracted, the doors were very very close to the ground, you could basically just walk off the 777 before it exploded.What a stroke of luck, which got EK off the casualty hook.Peter.
