Lordy.

Down the back, 10 seconds would seem like a long time to be accelerating nose-down close to the ground.

The French version of the report doesn't seem to have any more details, but 63 feet doesn't seem to be many seconds remaining for this world, and even if instantaneous, 1.84g seems to be rather a lot at such speeds, presumably needing a fairly dramatic angle of attack.

Another highlight seems to be 3 seconds of disagreement on the direction to fly from 29:57 to 30:00.

I guess the impact on pitch of full power was handled automatically, or there might have been even more fun and games.
