By JAYMES SONG HONOLULU (AP) July 21, 2008 — Military officials say at least three crew members are dead after the crash of an Air Force B-52 bomber off Guam. Rescue teams continue to search for the three airmen still missing after the Monday morning crash. They have covered roughly 3,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean. The Coast Guard says aircraft from as far away as Japan were brought into assist in the search-and-rescue operation. The military says the B-52 was en route to a flyover in a parade when it crashed about 30 miles northwest of Apra Harbor. |
