From the video I calculated that the aircraft was going 75 kts ground speed in the last 2 seconds. I included yaw in the calculation but not pitch nor slip. Including pitch would increase this speed to approx 88 kts.

Edit: I did the calculation including pitch and we get 84 kts ground speed.

Obviously that's way below stall even after the plane losing approx 1000 ft.

Edit: slip
