Stanley Key was dying, dead or totally incapacitated, the various alarms
were clanging and hooting and beeping and were not cancelled, and the
aircraft was pitched up so that the crew could not see the approaching
ground.

They also had a variety of similar warning lights illuminated that meant
different things but were close to each other, one was the stick pusher
pneumatic low pressure warning that was close to the droop out of
position light, both were amber. The valve controlling the stick push
compressed air was out of alignment and at some point the low pressure
warning illuminated, it might have caused the very inexperienced P2 to
select droops up because the lever was not aligned with the flap lever
after flap retraction.

But no one knows now or will ever know. The only four people who might
have known all died in the cockpit.
