U.S. B-52 bomber crashes off Guam, 6 crew missing


44 minutes ago


A U.S. B-52 bomber that was due to fly in a Liberation Day parade in the
U.S. territory of Guam on Monday crashed into the Pacific Ocean soon
after take-off, news reports and officials said.


At least six crew members were missing, according to the website of Kuam
News, a local station.


The U.S. airforce said in a statement it had no information on the
status of the crew. It did not say how many people were on board the
bomber or give a reason for the crash, which happened at 9:45 a.m. (2345
GMT or 7:45 p.m. EDT), 15 minutes before the parade was about to start.
