This is still nice to understand why the elevators did the opposite to the sidestick ... s(?) request.
Now, 17 seconds earlier, the airplane was at 3800 feet in a 57 degrees nose up attitude and virtually no speed. The emphasis could be on how they got there first.
It is amazing to consider that for a full minute, that airplane was out of control before it finally crashed.
The most interesting part should be to analyze what role played those two frozen AoA sensors in this flight.
