The Paris incident that you saw on video was not a stall. The incident would have happened in any jet a/c whose engines require 6 - 8 seconds spool-up time before full power is available. If the pilot had applied TOGA thrust any earlier that he actually did, it would not have hit the trees. This incident, despite popular belief, has nothing to do with Airbus flight control laws.

He simply did not go-around in good time from his low level pass.
