Supposedly airport is new; just opened this year! I wonder if that has anything to do with the crash?

From the brief film clip of the landing approach, my guess is it was too slow and left wing stalled sending all souls into unrecoverable spin.

Correct and too close to ground to recover.

Pilot error? Stall, big time. Perhaps a flap issue, or under-performing engine or just flat-out pilot error.

A bird strike could have caused it as well but I didn't see a flame-out from the ground video. Flame-out doesn't ALWAYS occur from a bird strike, however.

Mr.GG2 who is a former pilot said when that stall warning goes off its really hard to remember not to pull up on the yoke.
