I recall a show about the investigation into the AA flight that crashed in Queens 2 months after 911.. They hit wake turbulence from a 747 that took off ahead of them. Trying to get out of it they cranked on the tail rudder, per training, and broke the whole tail off crashing the plane. Steep climb here indicates avoidance maneuver gone wrong on AirAsia.

Any airplane that can be damaged by crew induced control input is a BAD DESIGN....This over control BS was used to protect Airbus.
Airbus seems to have a inherent design problem.
