Romeo, The GPWS would be barking sink rate, glide slope, sink rate, glide slope, at fairly constant rate from the moment it departed the glide slope, until it hit the ground!
BTW, I am not claiming this is what hapened, only adding my six peneth as possible.
3greens, I did say that a double engine failure would have lots of alerts, but it is possible that reducing speed, and idle thrust could make someone think of this for a few seconds.
It is very easy for us all sitting here in arm chair comfort, but at 1000ft or so with the stick shaker going, things would be a whole lot different. It's bad enough in the sim, just imagine trying to analise what has gone wrong when it hapens for real!
I am sure that when they get to the bottom of this there will be many of us saying "there but for the grace of god".
May those that died there R I P.
