Looks like the engine threw a rod, engine lost power.. Pilot tried to ‘right the ship’ but didn’t have the altitude to do so. Would’ve crashed regardless due to engine seizure.

It did puff smoke when he rolled and started down. If he had been able to right the ship, she would have been hanging underneath. Either way, somebody was gonna get hurt.

Looks like the left wing that she was on stalled . Either he was too slow or AOA was too high , either way it was a fast and painless end.

I think you are correct, sir. I watched again and there was a big smoke discharge just before the plane lurched. The didn’t have a chance of recovering.

I managed to access her FB page, she had the plane restored a couple of years ago. Sadly, she was preparing to marry another wingwalker next year. They were to have a wingwalker wedding. Horrific loss for their families.
