Stall vs. overspeed
I've read with interest almost the whole thread. It puzzles me why would a trained crew of 3 experienced pilots not recognize stall and would try to handle the situation with nose up inputs most of the time during the fatal fall.
It seems to me like if the confused pilots would try to handle or avoid a (non-existent) overspeed problem.
Now I have a general question: What is actually a more feared situation? Would an unhandled dive lead to kind of Mach 1 speed with a fatal end? Do pilots try to avoid overspeed even if there would be a risk to end in a stall? It is called coffin corner after all...
There is a great deal of discussion about stall in this thread over and over but I can't find anything about overspeed problem. Can someone please explain this or point to some link which describes the situation more?
