B-52 Crashes in Pacific

RIP.

The US Air Force says the bodies of two airmen have been recovered after a B-52 bomber crashed into the Pacific, off the coast of the US territory of Guam.

A rescue team is continuing to search for the remaining four crew members.

The plane was due to take part in events to mark the island’s Liberation Day, commemorating the end of Japanese occupation during World War II.

B-52s are one of the oldest aircraft still flown by the US military. The cause of the crash remains unknown.
