Agreed, but HOW do you not get into an unusual attitude if you haven't actually done so? More than half a century ago my ex-WW2 ex-CFS instructor made me spin from every conceivable attitude including an auto-rotation at 500ft on finals. I was shocked when I found out a decade ago that spin training was no longer required for PPLs. An attempt to turn back after engine failure cost the lives of two local flyers last year. I doubt if a commercial airliner could be recovered from the video clip shown but the crew appears to make no attempt to do so. This is not a criticism of them, I wasn't there.
