Are you sure the engine quit?


Yes. CBS Evening news (Saturday evening) said the engine stalled.


That in itself is good reason to suspect something else!
It appears the initial investigators told the press something about
stall/spin, which though preliminary appears to be the most likely
scenario.

The brief report I read said "The engine satlled and the plane went into
a tailspin". I assume they can determine this from measuring the rubber
marks in the clouds!
