I'm wondering about the "exclamation" by the crew at T-2 on the CVR transcript (I think we can all make a reasonable guess as to the word they used) - was it in response to something that they saw (the runway/approach lighting, perhaps), or something the aircraft did (like snap rolling past inverted)?

justanotherflyer - the stall warning was sounding from T-7. I'm thinking the PF would instinctively firewall the throttles (as evidenced by the engine power increase confirmed by the FDR) & push forward on the column, thus increasing the rate of descent as confirmed by your calculations.

Then perhaps at T-2 he saw the runway approaching rapidly & overcontrolled on pulling up, thus stalling the aircraft which then snap rolled into the ground.
