The drop in airspeed was unnoticed, and the stall seemed
to catch them completely by surprise.
I wonder what the stall warning was doing all of this time?

It appears that it was the stall warning (stick shaker) that the
captain (pilot flying) reacted to.
The reaction was to immediately pull back pretty hard
quickly precipitating an actual stall. 80% power was also
selected immediately. The stick was held back pretty much
until impact.
This boggles my mind. I'm just a PP but throughout my training I've had
it drilled in to me to lower the nose on an impending stall. How can
any pilot not know that, let alone one who is getting paid to fly
passengers?
