I remember this one. Didn't they neglect to de-ice the plane which ultimately led to the freefall?

The plane was on final approach and getting dangerously slow. The aircraft stall warning activated, the captain freaked out and pulled back on the controls (opposite of what to do in a stall) which caused the plane to enter a more severe stall, then the first officer retracted the flaps which made an already bad situation worse and the plane was basically unrecoverable at that point and altitude and fell out of the sky.
