Maybe. Maybe not. From the video the aircraft doesn't appear to stall. Nevertheless, provided the correct airspeed is maintained, this could be consistent with one engine inoperative, both engines inoperative, partial power loss, or a combination of the three. In other words we'll just have to wait for the report to find out, but nothing I've seen we preclude a misidentification. Thoughts?
