From the NTSB briefing just help, data pulled from the CVR and FDR show they were "significantly" below target speed of 137 knots, there was no call regarding low airspeed until 7 seconds prior to impact, they got the stick shaker 4 seconds prior, and go-around was called 1.5 seconds prior to impact. FDR shows engines responded normally.

Wow target speed is only 137k wow that impressive slow for a heavy...
 
If anyone else has read the book Blink it refers to a culture at Korean Air where CRM suffered as a result of cultural respect for authority. It may be an interesting parallel in this case.

I've been wondering the exact same thing. Will be interested to see who was the PF and who initiated the go-around.

Remember, there should have been 3 total pilots watching, including 1 Capt and 2 FOs. 3 sets of eyes.

Saw today where it was an IOE Captain flying with a check-airman in the right seat.

There's something I'm not getting. At the beginning of the audio, the crew calls final 7 miles south(?) and is cleared to land. The mystery go-around call is at about 16 seconds. The call for equipment is at about 24 seconds. At 137 knots, this equates to about .6 miles and .9 miles, respectively. Either I misheard or misunderstand, the crew WAY overestimated the distance to touchdown, or there is missing audio.

According to the NTSB briefing held earlier today, they were traveling well below 137. And that mystery "go around" call could have been made by the United crew sittting on the taxiway.
