I haven't seen references to it anywhere else (maybe I don't get out
enough) but it deserves a read, especially as I have seen it written
that many GA pilots are being taught that the way to recover from a
stall is "open the throttle and pull the stick back to maintain
altitude". Didn't work this time!

in the US, I have never ever heard of stall recovery being taught this
way in airplanes.

IIRC the first time I'd heard of it was on here earlier this year.
