Eight people were killed when a B-52 bomber crashed during a test mission at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California.

Among the victims were a flight test engineer who had celebrated his fourth wedding anniversary days earlier, a father who was teaching his daughter to drive and a weapons systems officer excited for the flight.

The crash marked the deadliest B-52 crash since 1982, when nine crew members were killed during test training.
