Augmented special (APU) turbine

Hi,

Therefore, I maintain their trajectory was near vertical, and not recoverable by movement of the controls.
Question:

Suppose an APU turbine with afterburner; Suppose itīs nozzle pointed 45° down.

How many pounds of thrust you typically need to "restore pitch" in order to start flying again in this class of a/c? To "restore a decent AoA"

A drag chute is unthinkable in an airliner. An special APU may save?

Just a theoretical question!
