Stall on Go Around

Everything here points to a stall on the last go-around.

I have no idea why the media is still talking about a "wing strike" or a "tail strike". The videos clearly show this aircraft was stalled and impacted in a steep vertical dive. Totally disintegrated.

I am leaning towards the Somatogravic Illusion issue here, especially with what was probably an exhausted crew and rough weather. I'm not sure exactly what the 737-800 does in this go-around scenario in terms of automation but it does look like they stalled it from altitude.

Tragic.
