It was landing and many things can go wrong during any phase of flight. I've heard there was a pitchlocked prop involved but that comes from ready room talk, second hand info no doubt.
That would do it...we had a Hawkeye go into the weeds for the same thing a couple years ago - Prop pitchlocked on a PEL to a full-stop and when they went into reverse it just took off.

Obviously, the Commodore didn't like something that was going on - I've known 2 CO's to get fired when it became apparent that command climate had directly caused a mishap.
