and of course the "good" from all of this, the procedure to pitch up to reduce speed back to V2 (in effect at the time) was disappeared, and most flight director systems will maintain V2+10 if above...when the folk at American played this scenario out in the simulator, they crashed every time, when they left the airspeed where it was instead of pitching to reduce to V2, the airplane flew away, and they were able to return and land safely....so this accident has probably prevented more loss of life...and I think American subsequently refitted all their planes with the optional FO's column stick shaker, and systems mods were made to lock high lift devices "in position" in the event of loss of all hydraulic pressure
