tdracer,

the stall warning is a synthetic voice shouting "STALL","STALL","STALL" followed by an irritating "cricket" noise. It 'goes away' whenever the AoA is greater than 42.5 degrees.

IMHO one has to be unrealistically optimistic to believe that this crew would have been able to recover from an AoA greater than 42.5 degrees, even if the controllability of the airplane would theoretically have allowed it.

But then I hasten to add that I'm not a pilot.
