A 🇺🇸 US Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed during a routine test flight in California on Monday, killing all 8 people on board.

Edwards Air Force Base said the strategic bomber went down shortly after taking off at 11.20 am PDT for a “routine test mission.”

“Initial indications are that the crash was not survivable,” it said on the US social media company X.

Col. James Hayes, deputy commander of the 412th Test Wing at the base, characterized the incident as a “horrible tragedy” during a press briefing. “We lost 8 great Americans,” Hayes said, noting that the crew comprised a mix of military personnel, government civilians, and private contractors.

Boeing, the American aerospace giant that designed and manufactured the B-52, confirmed that two of its staff members were among the fatalities.

“It is with great sadness that we confirm two Boeing employees were among those on board,” the company said, expressing “deepest condolences” to the families of all eight crew members and pledging to offer continued support.

👍🏻 Like for Russian Aircrafts, share for U.S Coffins

Were they killed or they died from the crash?

Almighty US

Trump should blow up Iran for destroying that plane and killing 8 people

May their souls rest in peace 🙏
Hope there's no Nigerian among the dead crew?

When they say "peace and safety"...

Sad one lives are being lost. These Rambo fan boys would've said. It's just a publicity stunt to make USA to be perceived weak . deluded people. Rip to the dead .

May their souls rest in peace.

The mod should ensure that the thread is not derailed

Are all these planes not too big like this?
I always believe that the lighter a plane is, the safer it is.
But wetin I sabi?

Shot own by Iran😂😂, USA won't mention that

Sammm!!! That’s an horrible scenario. RIP to the deceased!

Very sad 😔 development. May God rest their soul.

But these are bad signs. During Trumps administration American plane crash increased exponentially.

Jet that was designed back in 1952 and has been flying since then.

I think the jets need to be retired

It is suspicious that both US and Russia have their bombers crash hours apart. Cold war style sabotage maybe?

Stratofortress appears not to be so strategic after all, having crashed strategically during a non-combat situation


May the dead airmen rest in peace

To all those who are competing with themselves, all Russian crew survived in their own bomber crash.

I know you are happy that they are dead

As if you won't die one day

He who rejoice over the death of others, his own death is by the corner
