In today's report (and in this thread, yet) there is no mention of overspeed and especially its alarms (if any).

Before this report I always assumed that they might have had both stall and overspeed alarms. Similar to what happened to the 2 crashes due to clogged air-pressure instruments due to paint and insects (i.e. near Peru, & Dominican Republic).

This prel. report gives the impression (possibly wrongly) that the main alarms they got were stall warnings (amongst others) and not overspeed ones. And yet the pilots may have thought they were overspeeding. Oh my.

Anybody have any ideas about overspeed ?
