N.B. Fear-potential startle.

Many aspects of the industry's response to accidents, and seen in this thread, is that the focus of safety activity is based on the outcome of events.
' The aircraft was out of control and crashed because the pilots could not recover ' and with all of the suppositions in that line of thought the focus is on recovery.
By considering why the crew manoeuvred into the upset condition would provide and alternative view which would focus on how to avoid these conditions.

A wider view still would include all of the 'inappropriate control actions' **. Similarly why these accidents also report poor or no CRM. All of these are features of surprise, the inability to understand, communicate, and 'acute stress response' activity.

** remember the safety initiative " Engine malfunction and inappropriate crew response " many years ago. There were many LoC outcomes, primarily because the crew failed to understand the situation and / or the control actions were inconsistent for the condition.
