http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20080515X00679&key=1 Although I'm not NTSB, sounds like to slow, not enough lift, to high of an angle of attack--why we practice power on stalls.

I read the report, and I read nothing of a stall induced accident.

Also we can argue this point later as well, but for now...


BLUE SKIES!!

Yeah, its not in the report yet.  Its my home airport.  The NTSB is pretty slow at publicly releasing details.  The passenger was unknown for quite some time which also slowed it up.
