3/ pilot for reasons the majority doesn't want to picture, pulls nose up. 7000 ft / min at FL 350 ! Some kind of pull ! 10 deg pitch ! Plane bleeds off all its speed and STALLS. by that time, still functionning trim has done its job.......it's trimed the aircraft since somebody was pulling !
4/ by that time, speed is back and shows an horrific 215 kt.....pilot pulls some more adding full thrust making things a lot worse than they already were.
I write this as a none pilot.
What makes me wonder is why a expirenced and well trained crew did these actions. I simply can not believe they ignored what seems to be SOP and standard pilot knowledge.
For some unknown reason they must have lost thier situation awareness and reacted the way they did with the known consequences.

After the auto pilot disengaged thier understanding of the situation seems to be very different from realtiy.
I hope the recovered data help us to understand why this happened.
