Question on g limitation & flight laws: is 1.75 or 2.5 G (not sure why those numbers are in my head) where the system doesn't let you pull any more G in the A320? With the idea that they got it stalled, and on the way down finally got it un-stalled (which takes some altitude, and might be a challenge if doing it in the goo in very turbulent air) they might end up in a dive but only be able to pull "x" amount of G and not be able to break the rate of descent before impact with surface.

Does that fit the impact being such that the break up spread the major pieces out more?
