Part 7/10:
In an attempt to recover, the captain pushed the throttle levers forward as the stick shakers vibrated, alerting them of the impending stall. However, with the aircraft now pitching upwards due to increased thrust, it became difficult to control. Despite trying to keep the nose down, the 737 continued to pitch up as it climbed perilously, entering a stall condition at just 2,500 feet.
While pushing flight controls and attempting to regain thrust balance, the pilots experienced a major rise in pitch. In the cabin, passengers felt the aircraft lurched and nose-dive, unaware of the dire extent of the pilots' struggle. As the ascent angle reached 44 degrees and speed plummeted to just 107 knots, the aircraft entered a full stall.
