We have discussed Hamburg close call in this thread. I think you'll find this post quite interesting.

As for "being sensitive for aeroplane's demands", yes, on airbus one cannot put the newspapers over the yoke and see by their shuffling that the aeroplane has reached the turning point so its time to check the fuel and make note in the navigation log. Good instrument scanning is paramount to being successful bus driver. But airbus does cater for pilots too distracted to frequently check the speed tape while hand flying. There are high AoA and high speed protections in normal law, high and low speed stability in alternate law and in direct law, the aeroplane displays something very similar to conventional speed stability - difference being that stick's pitch neutral doesn't move with speed change.
