One wonders if the Lion Air crew found themselves in the same state of confusion. Sensory overload can overwhelm rational actions every time.
Reading that transcript it is terrifying. You can almost feel the panic on the flight deck, and once one of the crew panics / becomes fixated on a certain aspect the other seems to have little chance of holding it together. Apart from all of the cockpit warnings going off, their attention is constantly being drawn to whatever the other crew is highlighting as being wrong at that moment. I don't envy anyone in that situation.
