Believe me, as a pilot,
NOTHING gets your attention more than the sound of that stick shaker.
Not only do you hear it, you also feel it. It instantly tells you that you are in a Life or Death situation.
There were three pilots in that flightdeck and yet not one of them was able to recognize the severity of their situation , and come up with a suitable response.
