The pilots were reacting while piloting simulations of planes with spools...

Lets see, the plane's tires were gaining circumference due to the centripedal force as they spun faster....

The contact patches were smaller, and they left the ground altogether despite the winshield's downforce...

But, the added side wind forces on the larger circumference tires forced the plane to crab...

But only on the bottom...

so it rolled over and crashed.

Yeah,...all this makes perfect sense...
