"Doesn't make sense. I wonder if they were all sleeping and were confused when the plane went off autopilot." It could be any of several factors. A stall can be disorienting, if I recall my flight school stuff correctly. And it was at night, which doesn't help the situation. Given that the pilot didn't take the yoke despite it still being in the beginning of the crisis, he apparently didn't think he would have done it differently. Unless more info surfaces, and they haven't listened to the cockpit recordings, this goes down as pilot error.
