The only fact known for sure so far is that the plane stalled, most likely on approach/final to runway 12 and configured to land (gear extended, flaps probably too) Yes, thou shall keep your airspeed up, but there may be many reasons for a stall other than pour flying, like: one or both prop malfunction (e.g. fine or even reverse pitch), asymetric engine failure, asymetric flap extension, fuel feed problem, severe windshear or turbulence, people moving aft in the cabin etc with a cg close to limits, trim problem, just to name a few. Why always bash the lady F.O first? Red face
