Stall diagnosis

Failure to identify stall is indeed remarkable. You have highly qualified pilots looking at stall warning lights & sounds, crickets, an PFD pointing up 10 deg, airspeed decaying to below 60knots, vsi max'd down, altitude tape unwinding like you never seen before. What else can the a/c possible do to tell you?
Some have suggested a stick shaker, then pusher. Not convinced that that would help or just add to the confusion.
