At least two dead in B-52 bomber crash near Guam (2nd Roundup)

Washington - A US B-52 bomber crashed Monday near Guam, killing two members of a crew who were about to participate in a ceremony celebrating the island's independence, the Air Force said. The Stratofortress bomber was operating out of Andersen Air Force and went missing about 50 kilometres off Guam's north-west coast, according to a statement issued by the base. Search efforts were continuing for the other four crew members. The plane was not carrying weapons. B-52s have been in service since 1955. The accident is the second for the US Air Force this year on Guam. In February, a B-2 crashed at Andersen Air Force Base in the first- ever loss of a stealth bomber. The military estimated the loss of the aircraft at 1.4 billion dollars.
