Circumstances:
The crew (one instructor and one student pilot) was performing a training flight. During the last segment, just prior to touchdown, the aircraft stalled and hit violently the runway surface. All landing gears were sheared off and the aircraft slid for several yards before coming to rest. Both crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
