A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress, a nuclear-capable strategic bomber, crashed Monday shortly after taking off from an air base in California.
The long-range bomber, which can perform a variety of missions and is produced by Boeing, crashed on the Edwards Air Force Base at 11:20 a.m. local time, the base said.
The base said emergency crews “immediately” responded to the scene and the “situation is ongoing. More information will be provided as it becomes available.”
