the crew did not disengage the autothrottles, and whne the airplane touched down it wanted to maintain airspeed. the spoilers didn't deploy because the engines didn't idle to allow the weight-on-wheels sensor to pick up the weight of the airplane. it was a chain reaction that could have been avoided much earlier on.
this proves to me, that too much automation is a bad thing. the pilot should fly the airplane and not the other way around.
