Why it did that, I have no idea, and thats what people should stop guessing about.
It's a self stated rumour website. People have been speculating about every crash that has ever occurred during this site's existence and thats never going to change. Stop clicking on crash threads if you don't like it.

As for the incident, as someone unfortunate enough to have a few thousand on type, seems like confused crew forgot that aviate comes before navigate. My question is, the atr has roll spoilers. Yet I don't see them at any stage of the crash. That seems odd. Rudder isn't used to counter roll in stall recovery in the atr. Nor is the stick pusher inhibited below 500ft, at least from what I can find in my fcom. Stand to be corrected there.

Strange one.
