Default CZAR 52 Accident

i am doing a university assignment on a B-52 aircraft accident, the CZAR 52 Fairchild accident to be more precise. The assignment requires us to look at this accident from an aerodynamic perspective and im struggling tying all the elements together to prove what i think happened. I understand the aircraft used spoiler deflection to initiate a roll movement, however it kept rolling to the point where it overbanked, the wings stalled, lost lift and the aircraft crashed to the ground, as a very basic description.
However I'm struggling to support this, using the aircrafts aerodynamics, how it uses spoiler deflection to roll, its swept wings, adverse yaw, sideslip, overbanking, why bank angle continued to increase, roll rate. any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for your time
Daniel
