I think a factor in the pilot's response to a stall warning is that below a certain speed their's no stall warning as any speed reading is invalid, then if you accelerate you get the stall warning from something like 60 knots through to the aircraft leaving the stall. In this instance the pilot in control seems to have lowered the nose, accelerated the aircraft to the point where the stall warning actuates, then perhaps thought he was entering a stall by putting the nose down, and pulled back up again, dropping the speed into the invalid range, and causing the stall warning to stop. The pilot was flying the plane to avoid the stall warning, rather than flying the plane to avoid the stall.
