Speculations

The more I read, the more clear it gets: the poor guys failed to recognize they were flying a fully stalled plane, got absolutely scared by the bells and whistles blaring all the time, rocking wings, winding down altimeters, a panicked captain shouting instructions and simply frozen at the controls (or even worse, giving inputs that agravated the situation), failing to do the only thing that would have saved the day.
Pure lack of proper training, basic airmanship & situation awareness.
It's hard to admit that a lot of us could have reacted exactly the same way...

A perfectly flyable aircraft turned into a gigantic coffin.

Of course there'll be endless theories about A330 systems, speculations on Boeing x Airbus, if this, if that etc...
