With regard to the stall recovery technique using bank.......
On 29th December 2000 a man burst into the flight deck of a 747-400 en-route to Nairobi. He grabbed the control column and pulled it back. The F/O, who was on his own on the flight deck was faced with a certain stall as the nose rose 20 degrees. As he still had control of the ailerons he banked the aircraft 90 degrees, allowing the nose to drop below the horizon before levelling the wings. By this time the captain and another passenger were subduing the intruder.
The reason that this is relevant to the Bagram incident is that the Nairobi aircraft lost 10,000ft during the recovery. I'm not sure that this technique would have much chance at low altitude.
