A stall looks very differently, though. The aircraft seemed to be simply losing energy and gliding to the ground, keeping wings level, which is very unlikely in a stall because one wing will almost always stall first and droop. If both wings stall simultaneously, the aircraft will fall like a stone, not glide. This is one of the reasons people are speculating about a dual engines failure. The video of that 747 crash at the Bagram airfield is an excellent example of how a stall looks like from the ground.
