00:02:53.560Eight people tragically killed Monday after a B-52 Strata Fortress crashed during a routine
00:03:00.120test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California. The nuclear-capable bomber going down
00:03:06.380almost immediately after takeoff around 11.20 a.m., erupting in flames on the airfield.
00:03:13.000Newly released tracking data showing the B-52 remaining airborne for just 3 minutes and 15
00:03:18.480seconds. The aircraft making a sharp right turn, nearly reversing direction before plunging toward
00:03:24.460the ground at a rate approaching 60 miles an hour, reports the Associated Press. The eight people
00:03:31.020aboard representing a mix of military service members, government civilians, and contractors.
00:03:36.380with officials still working to notify their families.
00:03:39.840Boeing confirming two of its employees were among those killed.
00:03:44.100Colonel James Hayes speaking to reporters yesterday afternoon.
00:03:47.460It was a B-52 that was on initial takeoff, supporting the radar modernization program,
00:03:53.760which is a test, it was a local test sortie.
00:03:56.880It took off and immediately after takeoff crashed and burst into flames.
00:04:02.180Our team of first responders snapped into action and immediately took, cordoned off the area and took the appropriate action to start putting out the flames.
00:04:15.320After reviewing the footage of the crash, it was deemed that this was an unrecoverable crash and unsurvivable.
00:04:23.580At that point, we went into the notification process.
00:04:27.140And as I said before, that's taking place right now.
00:04:29.280Colonel Hayes telling reporters investigators do not yet know what caused the crash.
00:04:34.160The Air Force now launching an investigation expected to take several months,
00:04:39.320with Hayes warning the complete findings will likely not become public for roughly six months.
00:04:44.640The first victim publicly identified as Lieutenant Colonel Miles Middleton,
00:04:49.060a decorated test pilot, former commander of the 419th Flight Test Squadron,
00:04:54.580and graduate of the Air Force Test Pilot School, according to the New York Post.
00:04:59.180Middleton leaves behind his wife, Pam, and their two children, a boy and a girl.
00:05:04.540KTLA identifying another victim as Jeremy Smith, a civilian flight test engineer for the War
00:05:10.680Department who worked at Edwards for about 10 years. Smith leaves behind his wife, Lauren,
00:05:15.980and their two young sons, one about two years old and the other just four months.
00:05:21.620The airfield remaining closed on Tuesday as crews worked to make the wreckage safe enough
00:05:26.620for search and recovery teams to enter. The sprawling Mojave Desert installation serving
00:05:31.500as one of the nation's premier flight-testing sites for generations, testing military jets,
00:05:36.840helicopters, drones, and even space shuttles across its unusually long runways. It is also
00:05:42.800where test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier in 1947.
00:05:48.760The B-52 introduced in 1955, making it one of the oldest aircraft still operating in the U.S.
00:05:55.380military. The long-range heavy bomber normally carries a crew of five and can haul roughly 70,000
00:06:01.780pounds of conventional or nuclear weapons, the bomber most recently flying combat missions during
00:06:07.580the U.S. conflict with Iran. Monday's disaster marking the deadliest B-52 crash in more than
00:06:13.440four decades. Nine crew members were killed in 1982 when a B-52 crashed during a test training
00:06:20.040mission at the former Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento. We spoke with decorated Navy
00:06:25.900Top Gun fighter pilot Wiz Buckley, who tells us the circumstances of this crash are almost
00:06:31.260impossible to comprehend. I'm going to age myself, but in my nearly four decades of aviation, I can't
00:06:37.880remember a mishap quite like this, a fully loaded bomber taken off and immediately crashing. We
00:06:47.260don't even know if it took off formally and you know looking at the wreckage it's halfway down
00:06:52.940the runway it looks like edwards air force base has test runways and they can even land the the
00:06:58.700space shuttle back in the day out there so they're really long desert runways but
00:07:04.780we're gonna have to wait a little bit more so don't know if it was an engine issue
00:07:10.220maybe a massive hydraulic failure or you know losing flight control authority i just
00:07:17.260I'm racking my brain as a military aviator. I've been involved in mishap investigations, and I'm at a loss, and a lot of other folks in the military aviation community are as well.
00:07:30.640The doomed flight supporting what the Air Force calls its radar modernization program was telling us that broad description likely conceals highly sensitive testing.
00:07:40.320When the Air Force uses words like, you know, radar modernization program, RMP, that's going to be code words for we're not going to tell you what it was doing.
00:07:49.740Right. So that's what we expect out of these test pilot folks is for them to be doing some secret squirrel stuff in the desert where there's not a lot of eyeballs or or prying eyes.
00:08:01.520So and this the test community is a really underreported community.
00:08:08.520And, you know, there's there's reasons for that, obviously, because they are obviously doing work to keep us on on top and ahead of our enemies.
00:08:16.520But these before any airplane weapon system or weapon gets to regular young men and women to fly these in combat, they got to they rip them apart and put them through their paces.
00:08:28.520their paces. So the same thing if radar modernization program, you know, that's a lot of big words for
00:08:33.960they were doing some secret squirrel stuff. Whatever investigators ultimately find the
00:08:39.120crash is renewing questions about the age of America's bomber fleet. Our bomber fleet is aging
00:08:45.640and it's kind of an embarrassment to be honest with you. I remember flying formation on some of
00:08:51.560these B-52s. They look like emaciated dogs. Like you could see the ribs. You see the ribs of the
00:08:59.860aircraft fuselage. And I'm like, you know, I'm in a single seat F-18. I'm talking on the back radio
00:09:06.000to my buddies. Like, look at that thing. There's no way in hell I would get in that thing. And,
00:09:10.760you know, going up and down and doing all this test work, it puts a lot of stress on the fuselage,
00:09:16.500right? The more you fly these airplanes, we call them cycles, right? Up and down,
00:09:21.960a takeoff and a landing. You get up to altitude, the cabin pressurizes, you come down, it's down
00:09:27.260at sea level. Man, when you're doing that to a 50, 60-year-old airplane, it doesn't matter how
00:09:34.440they monitorize it, it's still an old airplane at heart.
00:09:40.320Wiz warning that any discovery of a broader airframe problem could carry major consequences
00:10:30.460but I've been in military aviation for over two decades.
00:10:34.080There is absolutely no such thing as a routine flight, ever.
00:10:40.260I get the message they were trying to send,
00:10:42.940Like this wasn't some super Gucci tactical low level, you know, pretending they're flying through the mountains, you know, to evade radar type of dynamic mission.
00:10:52.640I get that what they were saying, but I flew fighter jets for the Navy for 15 years and I lost 16 buddies and not a single one of those was a combat mission.
00:11:04.120So, you know, I understand why the Air Force Public Affairs would say that this wasn't supposed to be some sort of crazy high risk mission.
00:11:11.700but anytime you're strapping on a military aircraft, there is risk involved, 100%.
00:11:17.000President Trump in France for day two of the G7 summit, where the agreement with Iran and
00:11:24.100the future of the Middle East continued to dominate discussions. During a sit-down with
00:11:29.320the president of the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Trump offering a rough timeline for what comes
00:11:35.020after Friday's signing. The president predicting the next phase of negotiations with Iran could
00:11:40.040move faster than the roughly 60 days currently envisioned. It's a 60-day period or so. I think
00:11:45.500it's going to happen fairly on time. We've been both involved. I think they're going to want to
00:11:51.920get it done. Iran wants to get it done. They have to get back to business. And the relationship is
00:11:58.680now normalized. So I think it's going to go pretty quickly. It could go faster. It could take longer
00:12:05.280too, but it could go fast. The agreement itself, still not officially released. It is expected by
00:12:11.440Friday, though a draft has been circulating and was outlined at the top of the MK show yesterday,
00:12:17.500President Trump previewing some of these central provisions. There's so much interest in the text
00:12:22.580of the document. Why not? Why not release the top? Oh, I will. Why not release it? Well, because I'd
00:12:28.140like to get a formal setting for us before we do that. But I have no problem with that. It's a good
00:12:33.220document is what it says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon that's what it says it won't have
00:12:38.460one to buy to develop they will not have a nuclear weapon and I would say that's about 99.9% of what
00:12:47.020I wanted because we couldn't let that happen you couldn't let that happen and they won't have a
00:12:52.300nuclear weapon now in addition to that the straight is going to be open toll-free and it's toll-free
00:12:57.200beyond the 60 days it's not somebody said oh it's toll-free for say no no it's toll-free period
00:13:03.220One major question still remaining, what happens to Iran's existing stockpile of highly enriched
00:13:09.720uranium now buried beneath the nuclear facilities struck by American B-2 bombers last summer?
00:13:15.700Has Iran said they would welcome the U.S. coming in? How specific is this?
00:13:20.540Iran will be just fine. What's happening is that at an appropriate time, there's no rush
00:13:25.240at all. We have cameras from space on it. We know everybody that goes there, which is like nobody.
00:13:31.800the b-2 bombers hit it the entire mountain collapsed inside it it's a very tough excavation
00:13:39.920nobody else can do it but us and probably china they have the equipment we have the equipment
00:13:44.360we're in no rush but we get it and when we get it we'll destroy it we're not looking to take it
00:13:50.460we're looking to destroy it we have plenty of it vice president jd vance yesterday on the mk show0.69
00:13:55.820offering a broader explanation of how the administration plans to verify Iran is dismantling
00:14:01.860every stage of its nuclear weapons program.
00:14:04.880No, look, our plan is, well, what we would be inspecting is the full part of building
00:14:34.760Can those stay or are those coming out?0.91
00:14:37.420No, our plan under this deal is, again, the Iranians are going to get a lot of benefits so long as they dismantle that nuclear weapons program.0.93
00:14:44.840And again, people always ask me, why do you believe them this time?0.97
00:14:49.040I don't trust, Megan, I don't trust anything that anybody says.
00:14:52.420I trust what people do. And the way this deal is structured is that as they do more,
00:14:57.500they receive more. As they do less, they receive less. And that's the basic structure.
00:15:02.400Back in France, President Trump telling reporters he would have
00:15:05.560no problem sending the agreement to Congress for review.
00:15:09.220I wouldn't mind. I mean, you know, the Democrats, you know, we call them Democrats because they're
00:15:13.460dumb people. The Democrats are, well, what I'd like to do is send it to Congress saying you0.99
00:15:20.840shouldn't approve it and I'll get it approved. Whatever they whatever I say, they want to do
00:15:26.600the opposite. The president then turning to one of the biggest unresolved threats to the broader
00:15:31.780agreement, the continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iran maintains that
00:15:37.800further Israeli attacks could violate the deal, while Israel insists it will continue operating
00:15:43.600against Hezbollah as necessary. Mr. Trump now publicly pressuring Israel to pull back.
00:15:49.020We have that little pinprick out there that constantly rears its head, and that's Hezbollah.
00:15:57.140The man that's running Syria now, he's done an amazing job of pulling it together.0.94
00:16:02.160He's not a Boy Scout, but he's done an amazing job of pulling it together.0.99
00:16:07.520And he is very good with Hezbollah, does not like them.0.96
00:16:12.580And I'll tell you what, Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed.0.78
00:16:19.020And you don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses.
00:16:25.600And they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you.
00:16:28.820And I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah.0.70
00:16:34.580Because to be honest, really, I think they do a better job of doing it.0.98
00:16:37.680I didn't like where two hours before we're signing the agreement that there was an attack in Lebanon, in Beirut.
00:16:46.540It wasn't like in the southern side and, you know, it was in Beirut.
