There's Scenario 1: "Routine takeoff 9,423,430 and WHAM...a crap load of bad warnings and the plane noses over and you don't have a clue what the hell is going on...."
And there's Scenario 2: "WTF, ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF WARNINGS, the BIG LOUD trim wheel is spinning nose down and the nose is going with it...I better kill the trim...(or you just trim nose up with your thumb)."
It's probably correct that you kind of fit in scenario 2 and wouldn't have crashed.
The question, though, is if we are nuts for having a tiny bit of sympathy for guys who had no altitude to play with and there's four warnings going off and you are told not to trust airspeed or AOA, and told to go to an approximate 4-degree nose up attitude...
What are your thoughts on red-font-scenario 1? Are we full of crap for having a little sympathy? Are we full of crap for thinking one sensor = a bunch of warnings and a significant nose-over trend?
The more we beat the dead horse here, I get bigger questions on Lion Air...but would you comment on our outsider ignorance?
