B-52 bomber crash in California
A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert on June 15, 2026. The crash occurred at approximately 11:20 a.m. local time, with emergency crews responding immediately. The aircraft was destroyed, leaving a charred and smoldering impact site. The number of crew members aboard and their conditions remain unknown, though B-52s typically carry a crew of five. The base closed its airfield and diverted inbound aircraft, suspending non-commercial visitor passes. The cause of the crash is under investigation, with aviation safety experts suggesting a possible flight-control malfunction. The B-52 is a long-range, nuclear-capable strategic bomber that has been in service since 1955.
