I don't think it's fair to blame reporters, probably what was said is

stall in the common man's vocabularly is associated with engines not
wings.

When talking to lay-persons, reporters especially, pilots and
associated personell should avoid that S word and spell out the
ramifications instead.

What they should have been told is something like "he flew into the
canyon and in trying to get back out they inadverantly caused the
wing to stop producing lift".

What makes you so certain it was an aerodynamic stall? That type of
stall normally does not cause a crash. The stalling of an engine,
however, which is apparently what the passenger mentioned, could
easily cause a crash or make one more likely.


You're an idiot.

Stall accidents are very common indeed, fjukktard.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
