Sounds like they got the stall to cease and both engines running. I can't know what they saw in the cockpit, but I had the same situation once. I just held until under max landing weight.

A little humor from the idiocracy at airliners.ner


ATLANTA, GA - PR NEWSWIRE

"We thank the residents of Los Angeles for participating in our profit sharing event today where we gave away thousands of gallons of fuel.", said a Delta spokesperson. "We are thrilled to be a part of the Los Angeles community."
