Sims and real life ... again!
WV's suggestion to roll the aircraft to stop a nose-high overpitch stemmed from the ACTUAL incident (which he referenced in the video) of a Tristar out of LAX or SFO (?) which entered uncontrollable nose-up pitch. The Capt used roll-off turns and differential thrust, 1&3 v 2. to get enough control to SAFELY get on the ground. As he pointed out, it isn't taught in the text books but it works!
