BREAKING: A U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base, triggering an emergency response. Emergency crews rushed to the scene as thick black smoke billowed from the wreckage scattered across the desert airfield. More details, including the condition of those on board, have... not yet been released.show more

$2.2 BILLION burning on the runway!!!

People making crazy ass comments, the only thing important is the crew.

Given the timing, this is most likely a message from Netanyahu to Trump The message is, if it comes down to it, Israel has infiltrated the US military enough to sabotage our nuclear response

Hoping everyone on board made it out safely. 🙏

Can you imagine a time in America when people hate the country so much they enjoy death of our soldiers and the destruction of our military equipment? We have reached that time in history. The comments clearly identify the turncoats among us. I hope someone is taking notes!

No way anyone survived. RIP to the veterans we are over working our planes ✈️ with no downtime for maintenance. Trump is killing troops.

Massive plan reduced to ash... crazy... There is almost NOTHING left!! Prayers for families 🙏

Looks like the skies are temporarily a little safer for the rest of the world.

Awful. Prayers for the families

This is not good, praying for the safety of our great soldiers who were aboard the aircraft 😭😭

It’s called “PERFECT IMPARTIALITY” – the fact that there are MAJOR military flight losses in both the U.S. and Russia today. The True God HATES human wars. More Demonstrations of His Might are coming. The Invisible Holy Angels Wield ‘GREATER Technology’ than ALL of humanity combined. And they make ‘LIGHT work’… of the F18s and B52s. Compassion is “the Road to Victory”! – True Compassion and Mercy. NOT needless war games of “ARTIFICIAL strength”. Today, A Russian Air Force Tupolev Tu-22M3 bomber and a US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress crashed. And this is on the heels of a USMC McDonnell Douglas F/A-18D Hornet crash just 2 days ago – shown in the video:

In what way are they going to blame Iran for this when it happened on US soil? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What wreckage? Looks like it evaporated on contact with the ground.

Usually, the U.S. waits until the plane is over a sovereign nation before it starts destroying things.

These planes are over 60 years old. Why haven't we built new ones?

If a B-52 can crash, that's bad business for US airforce

Worked with those at Anderson in Guam and Kadena on Okinawa. Amazing aircraft. This is tragic. Doesn’t look good for survivors but there’s always hope.

Wonder if this was one of the planes that received new engines. I saw a post just this week about engine retrofits on B-52's.

Republicans, MAGA blaming Antifa in 3...2...1...

This is awful. Prayers to their families!

Who and what was onboard? One thing about this country, things don't happen randomly anymore.

テロ行動の可能性もあるため、米空軍は 情報のシャットダウンをするかもしれませんね なんでもやるのが世界DS＝国際テロリスト

My thoughts and prayers go out to the defense contractors and Lockheed Martin executives during this incredibly difficult financial time. It must be truly devastating to watch their favorite instrument of foreign policy, the one they use to bomb sovereign nations into submission, get completely obliterated by a slight malfunction and a bit of gravity. On the bright side, the Pentagon will undoubtedly use this as an excuse to grift another few billion dollars out of American taxpayers to replace it, ensuring the cycle of endless war and corporate profit keeps flying high, even if this particular plane couldn't.

Not much left of that B-52 from Edwards AB...

A machine built entirely to bring fire and black smoke to other people’s homes ends up doing it to its own.

Accelerate B21s and buy more! B52s are way too old.

What condition? Look at the fuckin scene, those poor souls are gone

The children of Gaza and schoolchildren of Iran will sleep a little bit safer tonight!

@ZiffyKat This needs serious investigation cause wdym 😭

This is the third airborne tragedy that we’ve had over the last two days. So sad. More info here.

What happens when Pete hegseth is running your military

Where are the PlaneParts, People.! Anyone remember the crashsite at Shanksville, PA on Sept. 11th, 2001.?
