I don't disagree with you safetypee but although it's implied I'm not criticising the crew. They were just unfortunate to be at the the sharp end when things went wrong that day. They were let down by the system that placed them there and 'unexpected' modes designed into the aircraft. So questions have to be asked as to why this crew first found themselves into a position that required a late go around and then why the manoeuvre was executed in the way it was. So the only solution to incidents like this is a proper investigation into the human factors, training and culture behind this incident - as ever. And then maybe, just maybe, the investigators will consider the questions surrounding rigid SOPs and manual flying.
