Secretary Widnall admitted later, in a confidential follow-up letter to Congress, that normal operating procedures had been exceeded. The only recognizable piece of the Stratofortress remaining was the skeletal frame of the tail section, looming over the devastation. there was no apparent remedial input from the pilot even a second or two from impact.
