Heard of a similar incident in a previous life: mis-handled G/Around on a 737-200 where the crew recovered from a nose-high attitude by keeping G/A thrust and almost full down elevator. Resulting in a "parabolic" recovery with the minimum speed somewhere approx 10kts below stick-shaker for the config.
At zero "G" the a/c WILL fly without stalling as long as it can be maintained. But there has to come a point where elevator effectiveness and the aircraft energy will be insufficient to continue the recovery manoeuvre. Then only lots of altitude will help..................
Interesting that it still can happen.............
