Very interesting story about the B-52 vertical stab. This was all I could find about it, anyone got any other information about this incident?
B-52 Vertical Tail Failure
A B-52 lost about 75 percent of its vertical stabilizer and rudder while flying at 350 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) at a pressure altitude of 14,300 feet msl 5.4 miles east of Spanish Peak in Colorado, on January 10, 1964. The ground elevation was about 8,500 feet. The mountain top level was 13,500 feet. Boeing calculates the angular velocity at .66 radians per second for this event. Maximum gusts exceeded 140 feet per second.
