No. I am saying that if you are at 100 feet AGL, 122 KIAS, 15 degrees nose
up, sinking at 600 FPM, engines at 29% N2, apply TOGA power and then
strike the trees 5 seconds later, you obviously applied it too late, eh.
The engines responded as they should have and autothrottles had nothing at
all to do with the accident.

So (to use your methods here), you're telling me that there was absolutely
noting wrong with the configuration that the crew put that aircraft in?

No Jerry, I'm not...on rereading my post it did sound
confrontational, sorry. I was looking for info there and you seem
to have a good handle on the incident.
