Another of those unreliable AC engines stalled on approach

If I see another movie where the engines stall, and the airplane starts
screaming down at high speed to the ground while the pilots valiantly
pull back on the yokes with all their might, I'm gonna choke.

A very common popular misconception is that any problem with an
airplane will cause it to drop to the ground like a rock. The idea
seems to be that an aircraft is just barely being sustained in the
air, and that any problem is rather like cutting the cable in an
elevator shaft.
