Eight crew members are believed to be dead in a B-52 bomber crash shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base, northeast of Los Angeles, on Monday morning, the base said.
The B-52 Stratofortress was on a routine test mission that took off at 11:20 a.m. local time at the remote air base, officials said, and “initial indications are that the crash was not survivable.”
It’s a shame it was being flown by a crew likely preforming testing, and not an active duty squadron intent on lethal weapons use.
The only detail that makes me feel bad it crashed.
