Speculating:
Would it be thinkable, that the moment they applied TOGA (assuming from former posts that they did so), their eyes had been still outside the cockpit trying t o see some reference or other traffic conflicting with the missed approach? Could the increase in thrust and acceleration without instrument reference lead to spatial disorientation sensing a nose rising too high attitude and compensating with a stick forward movement, thus ending in an accelerating dive into ground?
I havent flown heavies, in a combat jet in an IMC goaround it is a common false feeling.
