The stall was precipitated by the flight crew's improper reaction to erroneous airspeed and Mach indications
loss of control of the aircraft because the flight crew failed to recognize and correct the aircraft's high-angle-of-attack, low-speed stall
The flightcrew continued to increase the noseup attitude of
the aircraft following the operation of the stall warning stick shaker.
You could write those statements about either accident.
Yes, there is a big difference in aviation between 40yrs ago and 3yrs ago but that doesn't mean history provides nothing to learn from. The problem of crews failing to recognize stall, pulling up into stalls, pulling back through stall warnings, and failing to correct the other guy doing it is
not new and didn't start with fbw and sidesticks.
