They are near, but flaps have a lever and the gear is a switch.

Nevertheless, there are some interesting speculations over on X. One guy even claimed the Captain was in the lavatory during the accident...

Many people have noted what appears to be the RAT deployed in the video footage suggesting dual engine failure. Possible wrong engine shutdown? But who diagnoses and actions an engine failure and shutdown below 400ft?

The Mayday specified loss of control and engine failure.

Alternatively, it could have been exactly what was stated...loss of control and engine failure.

It takes some neck to accuse a veteran captain of panicking.

At the moment there isn't a plausible cause besides insanity.

And...why is that plausible?
