B-52 Bomber Crashes After Take-Off From Edwards Air Force Base In California
A U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base in California, the base said in a statement Monday.
“A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after takeoff on the Edwards airfield at 11:20 a.m.,” the base said in a post on Facebook.
“Emergency crews immediately responded to the scene and the situation is ongoing.”
It's unclear if there were any injuries or what caused the crash.
The base did not provide any further details in its statement, adding that more information will be provided when it becomes available.
“Please join me in praying for the B-52 crew at Edwards Air Force Base and the entire Edwards community,” said Rep. Vince Fong (R-Calif.) in a post on X.
Video footage of the incident showed the smoldering wreckage of the plane at the base, which is located in both Kern and San Bernardino counties.
