They (BEA) are trying to make us beleive that the only thing that failled were the pitot probes. The pilots "messed up" after the perfect AP disengaged...
Not what I see. I see pilots struggling to fly an uncontrolable airplane, with no attitude indication, at night with no horizon.
I don't believe the pilot would command aft stick knowing his nose was already up. Not even a student pilot would do this.
The aircraft went crazy on them.
Why?
Where did you dig that from?
The FDR and CVR data will eventually come out into the open, so it would be ridiculous to suggest the BEA are reporting anything other than what happened.
At a minimum stick to interpreting what is known, not what you want to believe - those are very different.
