Yeah, that's what I was getting at.

Ok, so allow me to make an uneducated guess here:

They stick the landing real nice. Pilot goes for reverser, deploys it. He immediately does what he would on a traditional jet, and nails all 3 engines to full thrust. Plane rockets on. Maybe he flips out and thinks engines are out of control? Panics and tries throwing fire handles to stop the "runaway" engines? Maybe mistakes the fire handles for being reverser handles in the melee?

Heck. No way to even guess it.

Sounds plausible...

But hard to know at this point - I am willing to bet that the NTSB will look at everything and be able to tell. You would be amazed at what clues exist in a crash.
