'nuff said.

When the speed becomes unreliable in a modern jet aircraft you can get overwhelmed by all the different warnings.
Surely the flight crew should stuff the alerts and deal with keeping the air flowing over the wings? If you aren't flying it doesn't matter that you lost the rudder limiter! Getting the aircraft under control should override everything else, IMHO.

I'm rather disturbed that far from applying the pitch/power memory items, he chose to pitch up instead whilst encountering STALL warnings no less!!!

I'm not making judgement on the pilot(s) here, just trying to figure just WTF was going through their minds to do that.

My username is rather ironic right now.
