As I was watching the special and they described how the captain
reacted to the stall warning I couldn't help wonder if he attended the

forward). He may have believed his problem was ice, not an typical
stall scenario.

Now that's very interesting, I hadn't heard that before. If your
suspicion is true, it would be a much more reasonable explanation for
his behavior than gross incompetence.
