Apparently the captain of this flight resigned...

According to an interview on a Turkish aviation website with the captain (who has indeed resigned), they selected reversers on the number 2 and 3 (inboard) engines and mistakenly added thrust to the number 1 (outboard left) engine at the same time.
He takes full responsibility for the incident and said they did not feel anything in the cockpit at the time, they did not know the engine hit the tarmac until a technician came on board.
