That is typically why planes crash. If one thing goes wrong, it can probably be handled. If everything goes wrong, the results can be disastrous.
I am not sure what happened in this case. The plane was losing 7000 feet per minute at the end. I am not sure if a 767 in a stall loses altitude that quickly, but if weight shifted aft then the wings certainly wouldn't be generating lift. But would it not self-correct after a while? I have no idea.
