Nope. Emergency blow cannister manifolds froze up. Supposedly they tried to glide her up. Not enough momentum, therefore she "stalled" and, yes, sunk stern first. Certainly not an aeronautical stall...but described as a stall nonetheless..........So in the broader sense of the term it can apply to an event.
