Stalled engines were identified yesterday as the likely cause of the crash that killed nine people when a Turkish Airlines flight plummeted into a field on its approach to Schiphol airport.
The chief investigator, Pieter van Vollenhoven, said that the Boeing 737-800 had fallen suddenly from the sky, suggesting that both engines had stalled as the aircraft slowed on its descent to the runway south of Amsterdam.
That appears to be the product of a journalist who has failed to understand the distinction between aerodynamic and engine stalls.
