Investigators found that the pitot heads had ice damage which caused the crew to receive incorrect airspeed readings. The crew, believing the readings were true, pulled back on the control column and raised the nose, which caused the aircraft to stall.
I figure that's fairly close to AF447
You figured wrong. The NWA crash was caused by the crew forgetting to turn on the pitot heaters before departing KJFK on a cold rainy winter late afternoon. As they climbed out, the pitots froze creating a false high speed instrument reading in the cockpit. They responded to this erroneous reading by increasing the climb angle to the point the aircraft stalled. So how is that fairly close to AF447 that had no speed readings except brief intermittent ones on the way down after stalling from cruise altitude?
I think you are taking poetic liberties to support your assertions that don't fit well in the Tech Log, maybe in Rumors and News…
