I watched this video earlier. Classic banking stall. Speculation is that the pilot was distracted by the need to get the banner out and lost track of his airspeed.
As soon as he realized they were in a stall, he had to know he was dead. Very few planes in the world can recover from a stall at that height, and that's not one of them.

Don't the banner planes usually take off with the banner deployed? Could be wrong, but I thought I'd seen that
