B-52 Crash Claims Eight Lives

A B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base, killing all eight crew members — the deadliest such incident in over four decades.

Officials called the loss “eight great Americans,” and investigators have determined the crash was unsurvivable, with a full cause likely taking months to determine. The aging but iconic Stratofortress, first flown in 1955, was carrying two Boeing employees, who were also mourned by the company.
