WASHINGTON – An American bomber performing a routine training flight crashed into a fence and cut off a wing on November 12, according to a document published on social networks. The incident happened in Louisiana at the US Air Force base Barksdale. There is no information about casualties, but there is material damage, not only to the construction of the bomber.
A worksheet was circulated on social media informing the support center about the accident. The document was initially thought to be a forgery, but journalists from The Drive sent an inquiry to the BBC and received a positive response that the worksheet was genuine and the incident was a fact. So far no other details are known about the incident.
“While positioning the aircraft for a static display of the object, the aircraft crashed into the fence directly in front of the MXG [maintenance] building,” the statement said, saying it was sent by the 2nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (2 AMXS). “No injuries were reported. All parts have been removed from the fence and the aircraft and there is significant damage to the top of the right-wing and the front wing outside the right outer tank.”
