In the current live NTSB news conference they have advised the aircraft stalled on approach. No mechanical problems.

VREF was 137kts in Flap 30. Was cleared for visual approach RWY 28L.

7 seconds before touchdown a pilot called low speed and stick shaker activated, thrust was idle during late stages of descent. About 1.5 seconds before impact they called go-around and thrust increased but it was too late.

Sadly looks like pilot error.

All based on CVR and FDR. Basically it sounds like THY 737 in Amsterdam.
