The most recent B-52 crash prior to the June 15, 2026, incident at Edwards Air Force Base occurred on May 19, 2016. [1, 2, 3]
In the 2016 incident, a U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress assigned to Minot Air Force Base suffered a failed drag chute and an aborted takeoff, overrunning the runway at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The aircraft was destroyed by fire, but all seven crew members safely evacuated. Prior to that, the most recent fatal B-52 crash took place on July 21, 2008, when a bomber plunged into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Guam, killing all six crew members on board

LOS ANGELES, June 15 (Reuters) - A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber, designed to carry nuclear and conventional weapons, crashed on Monday shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California's Mojave Desert, the base said.
Aerial video footage of the crash scene, about 100 miles (161 km) north of Los Angeles, showed a charred, smoldering patch of the desert floor roughly the size of a football field as an emergency vehicle was seen driving along the perimeter of the site.
