It certainly didn't appear the plane, "Headed straight down, crashing after the stall". It was relatively intact, and the wreckage appeared, at least from the photos displayed, to be survivable. If it had nosed straight in from that altitude, there would have been nothing recognizable. Much like the Payne Stewart Lear Jet crash after it ran out of fuel. There was nothing left but a smoking hole in the ground. I would assume the pilot had some control input after he was shot. It was reported his body was found away from the wreckage. Which could have led to his death if he was thrown from the plane upon attempting some type of controlled crash landing.
