The previous poster did not say that the pilots deliberately held AF447 in a stall. He/she stated merely that they had held it in a stall. That is an absolute fact. They did.
They did not do it intentionally but you cannot deny the fact that they flew a stalled aircraft into the Atlantic Ocean.
AF447 remains the scariest aircraft accident I have ever been made aware of.
In the same way that doctors make bad patients, pilots often make bad passengers. I prefer not to even think about what is going on up the front end while I’m watching my movie and drinking wine.
I just try to trust that the guys and girls at the sharp end know what they are doing and would be able to handle whatever is thrown at them.
