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 in to ground?
This really makes me think to the Gulf Air A320 crashed in Bahrain 10 years ago at night. By applying TOGA Thrust on GA, the pilot had the somatogravic illusion induced by the aircraft acceleration that caused him to perceive as if the aircraft was pitching up, thus leading him to respond by making a pitch-down input on the stick: the aircraft had a negative attitude when hitting the water. According to what's been seen by some eyewitnesses, the Afriqiyah A330 stroke the ground with a negative attitude too.
Here's a plan view of Bahrain:
At that point it comes a doubt, was spatial disorientation at the bottom of the accident ? ...
