Eight crewmembers are believed to be dead in a B-52 bomber crash shortly after takeoff from a base northeast of Los Angeles Monday morning, Edwards Air Force Base said, APA reports citing CNN.
Emergency crews responded immediately to the crash involving the B-52 Stratofortress, which left a towering black plume in its wake, the base said.
The bomber was on a routine test mission that took off at 11:20 a.m. local time, officials said, and “initial indications are that the crash was not survivable.”
