A U.S. bomber aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The number of people on board the B-52 Stratofortress, which typically carries a crew of five, was not immediately known. The base is the Air Force’s primary site for testing and developing new aircraft and weapons.

All eight people aboard a US B-52 bomber that crashed in California on Monday are feared dead, Edwards Air Force Base said, with pictures from the scene showing the aftermath of a large fire that appeared to have destroyed the aircraft. The crash happened around lunchtime at the base, a major operations center for the US military around 60 miles (95 kilometers) north of Los Angeles.
