Hi all
i dont know if anyone mentioned this before but i was told that the whole accident seems to be a pilot error. It seems that the pilot tried to avoid the bad weather by going over it but stalled the aircraft. Instead of sticking the nose down to increase speed and recover went on to "toga" thruttle position.

This action increase the angle of attack thus stalling again.

Will try to see if i find more detail about this rumor.
