The U.S. Air Force said Thursday a B-52 crashed on Guam shortly after
takeoff, but all seven crew members made it out safely. No injuries were
reported.
The plane aborted on takeoff and caught fire at about
8:30 a.m., Pacific Air Forces public affairs said in an email. It
crashed on the flight line of the base.
The bomber was deployed
to Guam from Minot, North Dakota, as part of the military's continuous
bomber presence in the Pacific, The Air Force said. The crew members are
with the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron and were performing a routine
training mission, it said.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
