Wow, things went from perfect day to total loss in just 32 seconds
If I interpret this correctly (and add the Bert Botta quote to the equation), the captain realized what just happened but he couldn't do anything about it (no comms -> shear pin -> no control), and by the time FO got the hang of it, it was inevitably too late.
Actually: based on Bert Botta quote above, there was nothing they could've done anyway at the point captain grabbed the controls, due to lack of altitude.
