The problem here was the Tomahawk pilot didn't push the nose over so the aircraft did not stall and spin, the only action he did was push the transmit button. Yes alerting airport services is a good idea but it has to happen after you fly the airplane. In this case what could have been a simple forced landing ahead turned into a stall spin tragedy.
Take a look at google earth, there is nothing simple about conducting a forced landing from low altitude of that runway due to the urban build up. Yes there are options for a landing but in the height of the moment ?
