Watch the video. Be irritated by a basic lack of understanding of half the content.

From the BBC?

The BBC fail to understand that carbon is an element widely distributed all over the planet and that carbon dioxide feeds all the lettuce and lentils their staff consume, expecting them to understand 'flight' is surely two steps beyond the pale

I think they mean that when the plane stalls, the kids are in control and have to control it after that!

Surely they need to wheel out John Nicol to truly complete any aviation story?

They’re saying the engine stalls, when it’s an aerodynamic stall. . . .

Where in the video or page does it state the engine stalls?

Interesting! Looks like they’ve re-edited on the same link. The original version subtitled the ‘engine stalling’ . . .

They've corrected it. Where it says "aircraft stalls" it used to say "engine stalls".

They’ve had a lot of abuse worldwide on aviation forums
