Stall warning 2 came just after the FD reappeared. IMO the PF took what he thought to be the correct action by following that reappearing FD, and applied TOGA in response to the stall warning.
The autotrim helped him to believe that the mix of those 2 actions was appropriate as it gave him the temporary illusion of control.

I'm not to sure about that equation or how to interpret it, would it mean that a full deflection of the THS at minus 14 deg could be anihiled by 21 deg down of elevators ?
