I've just seen the video, the pilot and wing walker didn't stand a chance unfortuntely, however it doesn't appear that anyone else was injured.

Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."

Didn't look like the kind of weather to be doing that sort of thing.

I saw her perform a couple of years go.  Very sad.  I am glad I did not see today's crash in person.

Video of the crash.

it looked to me like the plane was veering towards the stands.
rather than risk the audience for a chance at correction/survival,
the pilot chose to just put it down.

heart wrenching.  :pray

Agee, low altitude, inverted stall.  Unwinable combination.  Very sad.

I was there.  Stall.  Definitely.  The wing dropped likely because it was an asymmetric stall/beginning of a spin, likely due to her additional weight on that wing.. (pure speculation of course) Also note, though very hard to see in the videos, right as the plane rolls inverted, there is quite a puff of smoke from the exhaust, which was much more plain in person.  They had not been running smoke system at that point in the act (if at all) so I dont believe it was that.  I believe (again speculation based on what I saw) there was an engine malfunction of some sort (just as they rolled inverted) which led to a stall, and the wing dropping (heavy side, with Jane's weight and additional drag, causing it to stall first).  This i believe because if you notice in the video, the ailerons are deflected opposite of the roll, indicating an instictive reaction to counter an unwanted roll.

Again, speculation, but that is my belief based on my presence, and the video.
