There’s a chart of the speed - it’s around 250 knots so they’re going fast enough (source: personal MS flight simulator experience). The angle of attack is not shown, I think.

I am super curious about this: big dive, probably not a stall (?) but either aircraft was airworth to carry on to destination OR at least the crew thought it was. So all the controls and systems should be working properly, engines working. I am guessing they saw something worth avoiding? Birds? UFO (literally ... not aliens)? Another plane?
