Stall or loss of control in a CB ?

Hi again,

For the french reading members here is what is published in "Le Figaro" to day:
Crash Air Algérie : l'avion aurait chuté de 10.000 mètres en 3 minutes

This would suggest a control loss in a CB while turning to avoid it and a little experienced crew on this very route.
All this followed by a 30.000 feet loss of altitude in 3 minutes..

Let's wait for the NTSB's report (BEA).
