Glad the chute worked, but what would cause an airplane to stall at

My take on the article, based on past news media aviation ignorance, is
that the engine most likely quit at 16,000.

I know we are all engaged in guesswork at this point, but if an engine fails
at 16,000 feet I would expect that there is a nice long glide availble
(regardless of turbulence) that would likely yield a pretty good landing
spot. I know, I wasn't there - I'm not judging, just wondering...

I totally agree with you. BTW, I am not speculating, just interpreting
the article.
