B52 Bomber Stratofortress crashed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Monday. The Stratofortress, designed and built by Boeing, is a long-range, subsonic aircraft that has long served as the backbone of the United States' crewed strategic bomber force, according to the U.S. military.

Edwards Air Force Base said emergency responders were on the scene.

The US Air Force plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California.
