All 8 victims of B-52 crash identified

The Hill reports that the U.S. military has identified all eight crew members killed in a B-52 Stratofortress bomber crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California during a routine test flight on Monday. The article provides named individuals with ranks and ages, including active-duty officers and a retired lieutenant colonel who was also a Boeing employee, reflecting standard military casualty reporting practices. Corroboration from BBC, CNN, Los Angeles Times, and ABC7 confirms the basic facts—eight deaths, routine test mission, crash shortly after takeoff—though the independent search results do not yet provide information about crash cause, which investigators are examining. Watch for the official accident investigation report from the Air Force, which typically takes weeks to months and will determine whether mechanical, operational, or other factors led to the crash.
