All operators telex went out from Airbus this evening. Had a quick read of it so following is not verbatum but what I remember:

Approach in cloud, below minimums, go around, starts left turn with climb to 2,500'. At 1,500' pitch/roll commands become erratic and descends. Unable to react to GPWS warning (insufficient altitude, attitude, power?). Suspected loss of orientation on Captain's side. At all times were controls functioning. No evidence of technical fault from FDR.

That's what I remember of it. Don't give me a hard time if you don't agree with it or think it inaccurate. Airbus drivers should see something in their crewroom tomorrow I guess.
