B-52 crash at Edwards kills all eight crew members
A Boeing B-52 Stratofortress crashed in a fireball during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert, killing all eight people on board. The investigation is expected to take up to six months, and the crash is one of the deadliest US military aviation accidents in years — Edwards sits roughly 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
