Edwards AFB B-52 Crash Kills Eight During Modernization Test
TL;DR
Eight people—a mix of military personnel, government civilians and contractors—died when a B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base during a routine test tied to the Air Force's fleet modernization; investigators will examine takeoff performance, engine status, and maintenance records, and the full probe could take up to six months as flight tests are paused.
