B-52 bomber crashes in California with crew fatalities

A U.S. B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed yesterday, Monday, immediately after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base in California, resulting in the deaths of all eight crew members, including Boeing employees. The aircraft was on a routine test mission to support the radar upgrade program, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the incident, which occurred right after takeoff, with a column of black smoke seen billowing from the site. The B-52 is among the oldest American military aircraft, used since the 1950s in numerous wars. It has a range of up to 16,000 kilometers, can carry nuclear weapons, and is currently being used in operations against Iran.
