Theres actually a long article that was written concerning a break down in higher command because nothing was ever really done to stop his antics. I wouldn't go as far as calling them idiots but they're luck certainly did run out. It's a shame too...the families of the crew members were there to see it first hand.

Yeah...what he said above. We posted at almost the same time but thats about it in a nutshell.

Here's a link to the video. Scroll down to B-52 crash documentry.
