It is strange the came in at such a steep angle. The pilot must have lost complete control to just spike into the ocean like that. No doubt the NTSB will find the cause.
My first thought was it was like the Boeing Malaysian crash recently in a 777. The Amazon crash was a 767. The anti stall system sounds like a total cluster fudge. One of my acquaintances is an airline pilot that flies the 777. He said they were just in level flight, normal cruise and the anti-stall system kicked in and started to nose down. Fortunately he knew to just pull the breaker for that system. He said there was nothing in the operations manual. His co-pilot was a total procedure manual pilot and said that was not the procedure but he was just the co-pilot. They were lucky he was not in charge. The procedure has been updated to include pulling the breaker now.
I just wonder if the 777 and the 767 share that anti stall "feature" or if it is totally different. Just pure speculation.
