Wow.. un-freaking believable. And the whole article was speculation including the nice reference at the end of the 410 Pinnacle crash which has absolutley no similarity to this crash whatsoever. I'm thinking of responding to this moron who wrote this article.
If true, there are absolutely parallels to Pinnacle's crash. I believe the article is raising the possibility that the crew may have not added power and allowed the airplane to slow to stick shaker/pusher activation. The report indicates the Captain may have pulled back on the stick (natural reaction when the nose drops suddenly). This could have led to a full stall which is the same thing that happened in the Pinnacle crash. Pilot response following stick shaker/pusher induced the stall. I believe that is what the article is insinuating. As I posted previously, the information coming to light is indicating why crews need to remain vigilant during all phases of flight and always fly the airplane.
