Rubbish - poorly researched article.

The stall warning sounded continuously from the apogee of the climb (at which point the aircraft approached and entered stall) for 57 seconds, after which point the aircraft was already unrecoverable. Intermittent warnings were triggered by the AoA being in the stall warning range (thanks mm43), and the only time the stall warning did not sound when it should have was past the point of no return.

It would appear that one thing that has not changed since 1988 is the predeliction on the part of certain parties to attempt to use the press to muddy the waters when the finger appears to be pointed in their direction.
