Times article

The Times (casually referred to by many of us outsiders as the London Times) has posted an article here:

Times article

Ignoring the sensational title and such, it has a few factual claims which I've not seen before.

1. the aircraft slowed enough to enter stick shaker early in the incident.

2. a mayday was issued "the moment that they hit the grass".

3. the pilots first observation of abnormality was directly of reduced speed, possibly because some warnings were inhibited at low altitude.

I'm not a pilot--please remove this post if my extract is misleading or the link not possibly useful or interesting.
