If he had all that xtra weight onboard he may have been doing stall tests as well. It's possible it could have gotten away on him. I agree that a wing failure is highly unlikely.

Under the section, WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATION it was stated: "According to law enforcement personnel who dove on the wreckage, only 1 wing remained secured to the airplane." What they don't say is if the other wing was at the crash site. Did it separate in flight and end up somewhere else or is it located at the crash site because it broke off on impact? We have never had evidence of a KR wing failure in flight and it would be helpful to know if that is still true after Steve's crash.
