Would it also be just as likely to say the a/c was slowing, (vertically) as it developed the roughly "homogeneous" attitude at impact, from BEA??
Replacing what may have been purely vertical with (some) "flat" ? I'll hold onto this a bit longer. Who says because she hit not flying that the pilots were not attempting a recovery, and though only with 10.000 feet left, managed to bring the nose up and reload the wings a bit?
