Mort,

Take a look at this story. This happened to an SU-29 that went into a
spin. I thought these planes can recover from almost any spin. What
do you think happened?

The Su29 is easily recoverable from spins both ways under normal
circumstances if altitude, pilot, and aircraft condition permit this
being accomplished.
Why this happened will be the subject of an accident investigation. It's
appropriate not to speculate this early in that process.
