With all the discussion about TOGA (or not TOGA), another aspect of this crash (or hole in the cheese, if you like) seems to have been lost to view: the crew selected "gear up" as soon as go-around was called, less than 85 feet off the ground and before confirming positive rate of climb. As I understand it, even with the mix-up over TOGA, if the gear had been down when they sank back onto the runway then although they might have gone off the end, the final crash would have been much less serious.
