That was quite an explanation-thanks
BTW, if one of the thrust reversers actually had deployed and activated, the plane would’ve almost certainly crashed. As it was, the pilot had to go to “TOGA” power (takeoff/go-around, the equivalent of mashing your foot all the way to the floor in your car) in order to stagger the plane along and keep it in the air until they could get the slats back down, or climb away. There was a 767 from Lauda that crashed years ago because of an uncommanded thrust reverser deployment while at cruising altitude, in fact; the asymmetric thrust caused it to go into an unrecoverable spin.
