What don't you understand exactly?

Airbus has a growing record of being unsafe.

Qantas Flight 72 (QF72), 7 October 2008
....made an emergency landing near the town of Exmouth, Western Australia following an inflight accident featuring a pair of sudden uncommanded pitch-down manoeuvres that resulted in serious injuries to many of the occupants. In all, 1 crew member and 11 passengers suffered serious injuries, while 8 crew and 95 passengers suffered minor injuries..

Bodies found in wreckage of Air France AF 447 two years after crash (UPDATES) (VIDEO)
April 4 2011
Searchers have located wreckage with human remains inside from an Air France passenger jet that crashed to years ago in the Atlantic killing 228 people.

Newly discovered wreckage from an Air France plane that vanished while flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris two years ago reportedly contains the bodies of passengers.

French investigators said that parts of the Airbus passenger jet had been located using underwater robots and salvage teams, raising hopes of solving what caused the crash. The hunt for flight recorders continued, they said.

Air France flight AF 447 went down roughly midway between Brazil and Senegal on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 people on board. The loss of the A330-203 was the airline's deadliest crash.

France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis said aircraft parts found on the ocean floor, identified as belonging to AF 447, included the engine and parts of the fuselage, and Environment Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet said on Monday there were human remains inside, Reuters reported.

"We have more than just traces, we have bodies... Identification is possible," she reportedly said.
~French Environment Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet"The favorable news is that the debris area is relatively concentrated. And this gives us hope of finding the black boxes," BEA director Jean-Paul Troadec told AFP.

If a plane breaks up at 35000ft then..yeah. Frozen within seconds I assume.

I'm happy they found the wreckage. When a plane just vanishes off the radar...it must be hard to get closure.

Remote submersibles have picked up the black box/ flight recorders. Amazing.

Most likely pilot error.

Pilot error triggered by failed pitot tubes.

But as you say, mystery why the co-pilot put the plane into a steep climb.
