The aircraft probably experienced pitch and roll upset due to factors unrelated to the flaps selection or deployment.

I believe the most likely cause is incorrect flight control inputs by the pilots following a stall warning/stick shaker/stick push scenario. This all happened simply because proper flying speed was not maintained.
