"BTW, is it OK to now raise the possibility that the Air France plane simply surrendered upon touchdown?"

No.
Because if it is really true that after that landing that everybody got off the plane alive, including the injured, before the plane blew up it's got to mean that the French Flight Attendants were doing something very right and very brave.

My old first flight instructor always told me "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!" Well by that definition this has turned out to be a good landing for all souls onboard.
