Absolutely agree. What happening outside the airframe could give that sort of energy and would appear by stick position, to be countered by the aircraft?
At 2 h 10 min 16, the PNF said "so, we’ve lost the speeds" then "alternate law ...
The airplane’s pitch attitude increased progressively beyond 10 degrees and the plane started to climb. The PF made nose-down control inputs and alternately left and right roll inputs. The vertical speed, which had reached 7,000 ft/min, dropped to 700 ft/min and the roll varied between 12 degrees right and 10 degrees left.
