Newbie Qs on stalls and spins

I wouldn't be too complacent about this. There were some articles
about the American crash in New York shortly after 9/11 that were
discussing why the rudder had apparently torn off of the aircraft.
At least one of those articles discussed another incident involving
the same type of plane, in which the stress of the incident _almost_
tore off it's rudder. No one paid much attention to the fact at the
time, though, because they were more concerned with figuring out why
the pilots had allowed the plane to stall.
