In the period from 02:10:57 through 02:11:38 they may well do, but the results certainly don't. As I surmised in a previous post the CL was hanging on as demonstrated by the synchronized roll/pitch oscillation. So when the PF made the statement, "I've lost control", he had realized that his inputs were having no effect on the outcome.

I see that Owain Glyndwr has made comments complimentary to the above.
