as the result of lax/screwed up system of no fault military culture: A known thrill seeker B-52 pilot was not grounded by the wing commander, EVEN though the WC was so concerned about this pilot's attitude that he insisted on flying, himself , the WC as Co-pilot. He was trying to eject (His ejection door can be seen popping) when the B-52 slammed into the ground during a stupid show off maneuver.
I am guessing Andy Brown's presence was just a reminder to all that the command structure had utterly failed, twice, in a very spectacular and tragic way.
