Daily Express report on stalling
I thought it was because the pilots selected the wrong gear when the engines slowed down.

I did read a story somewhere of a 'T' tail aircraft entering a Deep Stall and due to a highly reduced and highly disturbed airflow around the intake, the engines shut down,(possibly due to the intervention of Top Temp Control (TCC)).
But that aircraft was at no stage in a Deep Stall - the pilots recovered control but were killed in the ensuing emergency landing.

There's more: The ground effect: Bizarre 'floating' RISK to a plane during takeoff and landing | Travel News | Travel | Express.co.uk
"THE GROUND EFFECT is an aerodynamic principle that affects planes at takeoff and landing - and pilots have to be very careful when they come across it."
Don't they come across it on virtually every landing?
