The crash of the XB-70 occured during low speed testing.  A chase plane
had moved in behind to get photos.  Unfortunately, the rather large
wings on the XB-70 created a large suction.  The chase pilot had moved
in just above and behind and ended up being sucked right into the plane.
I have seen the footage of the accident but I can't remember where.
It may possibly have been at the NASA museum at Langley AFB, VA (a very
interesting place by the way).
