This is a fascinating accident indeed. So many levels of wrong in such a short period of time.

What I fail to comprehend is how a trained pilot can completely disregard the information "nose up input" and "spinning altimeter" and "STALL STALL". I read some posts ago that maybe Bonin was afraid of an overspeed situation. While that is a serious concern I can not see it was in any way applicable here.

Could someone please enlighten me as to why Bonin might have thought it was an overspeed? I really don't get it. He should have been aware of the stall buffet waaaay before starting at Air France.
