No, the pilot was a complete dumbass who took the lives of the his crew with his reckless flying stunts with a B-52.

Yep, according to my brother who is in the AF the guy was a hot-shot with a deathwish. Banked too hard and way too low of an altitude, lost all lift and plowed into the ground.
Apparently some guys tried to eject, but from the picture you can imagine what happened to them...
Apparently, this guy also was supposed to fly the b-52 over a mountain peak for some kind of photoshoot. Well, he flew over it alright...cleared it by something like 20 feet
.
I'm thinking that the photographer had to change his pants after that one. Sounded like the guy was always doing stupid shit like that.
