Think about this..... Had PIC respected the stick shaker and the stick pusher, and the SIC had knowledge of cold weather operations as well as stalls, and fundamental flying skills and had she not raised the gear and flaps during the stall, would there be a memorial for the passengers and FAs, assuming that is the purpose of the memorial.
Cruel? Possibly.... but look at the root causes.... not the lack of sleep, but training/checking and inexperience issues and process at the carrier.
