She must have got the idea from somewhere. All I can think of is a misreading of AF447
Yes, it was. I've just read the article a bit more thoroughly. " ... sent it into a stall that the pilot could not recover from" ? If I recall rightly, the captain was having some well earned kip and the others didn't know they were in a stall and were pulling back to get some more height whilst the pitot tube was iced up.
