As the crew were proceeding with another manual approach, they decided to go around again at a height of 220 meters (4 km before the runway) and initiated climb setting the engine to takeoff thrust. At a height of 900 m there was a simultaneous control column nose down input and stabilizer 5-degree nose down deflection, resulting in abrupt descent with negative vertical acceleration of -1g. The following crew actions to recover did not allow to avoid an impact with the ground. The impact occurred with a speed of over 600 km/h over 50 degrees nose down.

That doesn’t make any sense. If there was a loss of airspeed, wind shear, stall, or any other problem they would have mentioned it as they did earlier in the article. As it is, it looks like another pilot suicide.

At some point the local press speculated the pilots had an argument on what to do.
