There's literally no excuse for not watching your airspeed when you land an airplane, of any make. It's one of the two 'oh-hey-my-life-really-directly-depends-on-this-number' factors.
I really don't like the tone that so many post-accident discussions take regarding automation, Boeing v. Airbus, etc. -- when the plain facts of the incidents (specifically this, and Air France 447) boil down to one small, really important bit willful negligence.
