Slightly OT- Model B52 Crashes

That plane had redundant systems to avoid that sort of problem. I agree about the 'downwind' turn. Did you hear the wind
blowing in the microphone? The weather did not look good...

She was in a pretty tight turn just before the dive, accelerated stall
maybe??

What about loss of radio contact (perhaps a transmitter or receiver
failure)? I've seen that happen. It looked like perhaps it was entering
a turn at the time, but carried on rolling until the nose fell through
as if some spoileron/aileron input had been added but never taken out.
