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.

The big smoke discharge may have been from the pilot firewalling the throttle when he realized his lift went away. Otherwise, I agree completely - that low, that fast and with asymmetric weight on the wings there was no way to avoid the crash. It's entirely possible (likely even) that the pilot managed to get the plane turned away from the crowd with his final actions. Saving a lot of spectators.

On second look the discharge occurs when the pilot attempts to roll the plane inverted, not at the point where it’s obvious that lift is gone.
