This is one of the best descriptions I've seen so far. It's hard to believe that the airplane (which they knew was weight limited to FL350) would have the energy to zoom climb to 38,000.
Just read this article. How did they climb at 7,000 fpm from 350 to 380 as heavy as they were?

I have to wonder why the CA didnt take comand at least verbally?
