Whoever they were, hopefully they were able to eject safely.

B52s do not have a good history of successful ejections :(

Plus it looks like it happened fast at low altitude.

Hope I'm wrong.

The 412th Test Wing Public Affairs Office has now issued a brief press release, which is as follows:

“An Air Force B-52 Stratofortress carrying eight people on a routine test mission crashed today shortly after take-off at 11:20 a.m. (PDT). Initial indications are that the crash was not survivable. Emergency response personnel are on scene, and officials are working to account for all personnel.”

“The crash is currently under investigation.”

The B-52 that crashed was taking part in the Radar Modernization Program.

The B-52 had “a mixed crew of military, government civilians, and government contractors supporting this test mission.”

Are B-52s made of paper mache? There's nothing left but a stain next to the runway. A passenger jet wouldn't disintegrate like that.

You can make a passenger jet disintegrate like that:

Was anything of value as lost, though?

The crash probably saved many other people’s lives, including many children.

That's a garbage thing to say after Sam revealed that he may have had friends onboard.

Apparently the B-52 was airborne for over 3 minutes before crashing and didn't crash on takeoff as I had thought.

Lol I'm sure that's exactly why mountme posted.

Fortunately I do not believe any close contacts were aboard.

And while tracking data is limited it looks like airborne for about 45 seconds. Takeoff, followed by a sharp roll to the left and sudden plunge. A number of possible causes.

"There's nothing left but a stain next to the runway."

You ever see pics of victims of plane crashes?

If you haven't...well first of all, don't, it's horrific imagery. The bodies stop being bodies, they become something more, uh, liquid.

Crashing into the ground at airplane speeds is absolutely brutal for the thing making the crash.

Not to mention the fuel... Plus aluminum burns too... Well enough that we use Al in most solid rocket motors

This wasn't a normal crew (2 of the 8 were Boeing employees), so I wouldn't be surprised if some/most people onboard weren't trained or positioned to eject.

So, definitely nothing of value was lost.

He gleefully espouses genocide, burning thousands of children alive, every day and youre worried about his sensitive feelings? Awwww, its nice that the USA's warriors against fascism have such a tender spot for US Nazis - it ensures they wont be going anywhere soon.

Personally, given that Csam has enjoyed the deaths of probably millions of civilians over the years, I really hope his family was on that place and were all burned alive screaming in terror and ultimate suffering as all those thousands of children he's laughed at over the years.

My first memory of Utopia was this horrific monster who called himself Satan and was quickly banned for being unspeakably sick.

There was an Afghani kid here back then who was probably the most polite and respectful poster Ive ever seen on UP - cant remember his name.

One of the first things I read on YP ws this kid extremely politely sking why the USA hated them so much - and Lying Pedophile Cunt telling him that he had friends in Afghanistan who were killing his countrymen at that moment and that he had ordered a baby Afghans skull from a friend over there to use as a beer goblet. It was so sick that ever since then, Lying Pedophile has deserved a quick bullet to the neck and a ditch.

But you carry on feeling sad for poor, victimized, gleeful genociders. Youve got your priorities all AOK.

Anyway, Lying Pedophile, Ill give you 100 bucks for your dead or alive moms skull so I can use it to shit in when its too late to go to the toilet at night. I want it in unused condition though, so if you've been shitting in it, the deals off.
