Default Radio altimeter fault triggered Turkish Airlines crash

Out of curiosity, and notwithstanding some contributions whose vehemence is
equaled only by their lack of information on the subject, is there an
underlying assumption here that the discussion of autoland proceedures is in
some way related to the THY accident in Amsterdam?

Can anyone point me to verifiable information indicating they were executing
a CAT-IIIc proceedure, and not, as I presently assume, a standard CAT-I ILS
with automatic pilot and autothrottles (as is standard)?
