I bet the pilot was unaware of the reverse thrusters being de-activated, until it was obvious........

If the thrust reversers were deactivated, would he not have actually been increasing his speed? I thought thrust reversers mean you gun your engines, but deflectors force the thrust into your direction of travel, slowing the aircraft. Instead, he was actually speeding up?

I assume the AirBus has a black Box so hindsight analysis can see exactly what the Pilot was doing.....
