'IT FELL FROM THE SKY'
An investigation into the 1959 crash of a B-52 bomber in Fremont, N.H.
On its 60th anniversary, an in-depth look at the 1959 crash of a B-52 Stratofortress in Fremont, N.H. The eight-man crew parachuted to safety just before impact. But what caused this giant aircraft to plunge to earth during what should have been a routine training mission? And why was the U.S. Air Force so tight-lipped about it afterwards?
