My ten bucks is on Framer!
As shown on the NTSB video simulation, the stick pusher didn't fire until AFTER the 1.42 G pitch up.
How could an aircraft this massive generate +1.42 G, unless it still had some pretty effective lift in them wings?
Both the Capt (pull up) & FO's (retract flap) reactions were consistent with only one scenario - tail plane stall.
Unfortunately, that wasn't it.
