With all due respect, gentlemen, I think the nine seconds to react quoted in the news article is a red herring.
Think about what might make any of us to have our final words captured on CVR saying "Oh my God, what is this?”
It's all about what happened to create that dismal situation. We may never know the full story, but it is very very sad with such an experienced crew and a new aircraft.
And IMO any attempts to place the blame on ground controllers are total BS from someone trying to CYA. Even sadder.
