(4) that the aircraft may have stalled once or twice (assuming that the crew had been able to rescue the aircraft from the first stall). The aircraft hit the ocean belly up. It was suggested that the crew may have been in the process of rescuing the aircraft from the first or second stall, and in fact may have come close to saving the aircraft, but ran out of height, and time.

Thanks for the summary ^ I wish I could view the documentary here in New Zealand but so far have been out of luck . Just one question - is that a typo where you said the aircraft hit belly up ? I have not seen any previous reports to suggest that the aircraft had been flying inverted at the time of impact so just wondering whether some new information has come to light .
