Interesting that the black boxes, fnally recovered after such a long and costly search, are pretty much just confirming the scenario that was suspected. So that makes three major stall-spin type accidents in the space of a year.

The alarming part is that nine of the 13 crews that had pitot tubes freeze up got slow enough to catch the shaker. If you lose airspeed, revert to the basics: pitch plus power equals performance!
