    Guam airport has frequently crashed in past years until now.

    I can't remember one or two others.
    China Airlines 744 crashed.
    B1 bomber crashed a few months ago.
    now B52 crashed.

      It was reported that 2 of the crew members were pulled from the water by the Coast guard, no results on their condition though.

          But those are diffrent airports. One is Anderson AFB (PGUA) and the other Guam International Airport.

                  I'm afraid so.

                  I assume this leaves one crew member unaccounted for? Lets hope he turns up alive and well.

                    They're looking for four others.

                          HONOLULU - The Air Force continued to hold out hope of finding survivors Tuesday in the crash of a B-52 bomber off Guam, but a brigadier general said there was no evidence that any of the airmen were alive.

                          So those 2 pulled out of the water were dead.

                          RIP
