## Resource

A B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base, killing all eight aboard—including service members, civilians, and contractors. The aircraft, involved in a radar modernization test flight, was deemed non-survivable at impact. Emergency crews responded immediately as officials work to notify families before releasing identities. The Stratofortress, in service since 1955, remains one of the Air Force’s oldest bombers. An interim safety board will begin investigating, with a full inquiry expected to take up to six months to determine the cause.
