They were less than 20 seconds from ground impact at that point. Pretty scary.
Do not know, maybe the guys were in control , we do not have all the facts.
But Going from min 3200 ft/m to plus 3800 in less than 20 sec, plus the noise , might have been a bit "scary" for the pax behind..
Diving and reducing speed at the same time, especially on a 737NG has never been a good combination.
