All the speculation on here is amusing as usual.

It will most likely turn out to be one of two things:

1. Pilot error (he may try to blame the equipment for his own mistake,
that has happened before).
2. Some system failure, or combination of configurations that resulted
in an unexpected result.

My money is on 1. given that the reports state that the glideslope was
unusual, and he may simply have gotten himself behind the power curve.

Nah,the power curve not as big an issue these days. Spool up times are
almost as fast as pistons and it probably had some sort of Alpha floor
protection anyway. I'll know shortly because I'll be talking to a 777
friend this afternoon.
