as for the b-52, the truly sad part about this was the pilot that was ultimately at the control at the beginning of the crash had a history of doing stuff like this. he was what i would call an experienced pilot, but took many risks throughout his career. the commander of that wing didnt let anyone else fly with him but himself, so that he could prevent anything bad happening. if you research the right video, im sure its on youtube, you can see someone bailing out of the aircraft before it crashes. that is the commander of that wing jumping out trying to possibly have a slim chance of living. sadly he didnt make it. you are right that the b-52 stalled out due to the turn being too much.
