Where did you get your info from? And what do you want to discuss? The MSA out of HK is 5000, so a windshear G/A to 6000 is standard. Admittedly, 118kts, if true, is slow, however I would say that prior to getting that slow, the stickshaker/pusher would have something to say about that. At G/A power, there is a fair bit of grunt coming out the back, so the AOA would have been pretty steep. I also find it hard to believe that no one on that crew heard the A/P disconncect, its pretty loud and hard to miss. CLK is well known for having quite bad windshear, so pilots are aware of it, its often on the ATIS, so the pilots would have been ready for a possible G/A. I am not sure what you are after, but all things considered, it sounds doubtful that ALL the cues could have been missed. Not impossible, but highly unlikely.
