Talk about lining up holes in the swiss cheese.
Also, didn't I read some administrator/other committed suicide?
Does it really matter what it was before the go around? Normally if you do a go around you are going to get the gear up and clean up the flaps. If you look at the landing videos you can see that the aircraft was in the clean configuration (no landing gear or flaps) at touchdown on the runway.
The reason those four minutes are missing is probably due to the bird strikes on both engines that shut both down and thus the electrical power generators. The 737s still have a cable system for actuating the flaps, elevator, and rudder.
The pilots had very, very little time to get through any checklists to the point that they didn’t manually deploy landing gear, which you can do in a 737.
When the pilot brought the aircraft down to the runway it floated about the runway a bit due to ground effect until reaching nearly half way down the runway and crashed into the berm.
