Whats the story behind this ?
Did the pilots and crew survive ?

did the pilot and crew survice? Did you watch the wings fold up and disintegrate on impact? Or the huge fireball when the fuel tanks exploded?.

I'm guessing the crew didn't walk away from this one!

More on this from wiki.

The pilot Arthur "Bud" Holland (46) was a cowboy, who had often performed risky and flatly unsafe manouvers many times throughout his career. He had even attempted a similar high angle (> 60° angle) turn like this above his daughters softball game - spiralling downwards for some 1000 feet before he could regain control of the aircraft. He was never removed from flight duty for any of his infractions.

The habitual lack of enforcement of safety regulations combined with the distraction of a recent mass shooting at their airbase four days prior failed to prevent Holland from trying the spectacular 360° turn at such low altitude. None of the four aircrew survived the crash.

The incident is used widely to show the importance of adhereing to and enforcing safety regulations, as well as correct crew resource management.

"Did the pilots and crew survive ?"

lol

Im far too lazy to check wiki to see if B52's have ejection facilities for everyone on board.

Actually they do but didn't help here :-( : "Although McGeehan ejected and cleared the aircraft before the crash he was killed in the ensuing fireball. Additionally, Huston initiated his ejection sequence but did not clear the aircraft before impact. No one on the ground was injured.[6]">> ^charliem:
