Along those same lines, what evidence is there TOGA activation was intentional?

Theories cannot be discounted, but in the absence of evidence they also cannot be the default suspected causes.

I think we’d all prefer that a “professional” pilot didn’t accidentally activate TOGA without knowing then reacted so poorly to it that he pushed to 50 degrees nose down at full power and flew a perfectly good jet into the ground.

Doesn’t mean that isn’t exactly what happened, though....
