Please try to keep from using vulgarities and profanity. I feel we can make our points without using profanity. I have no problem with calling the pilot a jerk, however remember there can be children viewing this thread so try to keep suitable for public. July-7-2007 As far as I know is the first time this much of the video has been made readily available to the GP when I posted this on Youtube. 
More footage then I have seen on the net on this subject. Mishap 24 June 1994, a B-52H of the 325th Bomb Squadron, 92d Bomb Wing en.wikipedia.org In this photograph you can see what is apparently an ejection hatch. img464.imageshack.us This photograph was shot in mid-impact with the ground. img464.imageshack.us The photographs were shot in-between the time frame that there was apparently a plasma ball from the wing clipping power lines. US air show standards are the highest, but this was a case of systemic disregard for safety. Since this crash, the bar has been set higher more enforcement and awareness. It bothers me to see some other counties still have very poor safety at major air shows. The former soviet block has had several crashes that I would consider safety neglect a factor, if not the cause. Aerobatics should not be done over crowds. Aerobatics should be kept in a safe margin away from the crowd and to some extent the flight line. I even frown on extremely low passes over crowds. Pilots and management/command should have restraint from flying planes to extreme limits …

That guy was getting way to confident
them b52′s are real big boys,i saw one at wright field and i couldn’t stop wondering how a thing like that could get into the sky
@smartcooky99 Thats correct.. the tragedy was more odd because McGeehan was in that seat because others were afraid/pissed off of that pilot and he was there to fill and see for himself what this idiot was doing.. he trully sacrificied himself for others..
And responsable for this are too those superiors who didnt grounded or seriously amonested this pilot..
What makes this event even more tragic besides the loss of several good men is the fact that many of their family members were watching. The deputy wing commander was on board, and this was to have been his last flight, so his wife and family were on the flightline watching as it happened. The pilot should have been removed years before this was allowed to happen. Again, so very tragic.
An uncontrolled flight and crash.
It could just be glare, but at 9:45 it looks like the ejection canopy got jettisoned.
What a pity! A beautiful plane. Terrible disaster!
this guy should have been quare matialed long before this take his wings away and smack him across the face is what i say
wow………what a moron i feel bad for his crew
Blimey, shocking video O_O
the video comment thing makes a good point
Crazy basterd.
Thats pretty darn fast for a B-52 at the start…
The Man Had Some SKILL!Give Him That! BUT…………
The jerk of a pilot stalled the tail once, as you could see in an earlier video, but, oh, no, he had to go on and pull back on the stick and back it so freakin’ hard he couldn’t recover and it augered into the ground. What a complete dickhead! Loss of a good airplane and the loss of valuable crew members, to say the least. He was slapped on the wrist a couple of times, but the command changed hands and they never put anything official in his record for the next commander to see–jerks!
Terrible waste of life
ya the smart co-pilot KNEW what was coming he tryed to eject to save his life in fact you can see the flash from the attemped ejection at 9:44 if you look closely near the cockpit but it was just too late the moronic pilot killed all crew and himslef and i dont know but probably some on the ground RIP to all…
Banked way too hard…Took too many good lives with him….
That’s what happens with 90 degrees of bank fifty feet from the ground.
I have researched his, and as you see, the co-pilot hatch deploys, but too late for him to eject. This is why all 4 people onboard died
that fools dead
@GodHatesWar
Looks close, also looks like it hit a power line.
That plane is suprisingly agile.
what a waste of a perfectly good plan…right when he stalls, I’m thinking, why is this pilot at a 90 degree bank, low speed and only 2-300 feet off the ground…not a bright man
That’s sort of like why you don’t mess with 360,000 pounds of flying steel so low…
