Just gonna drop this here... 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israelis on Telegram in response to the B-52 crash and death of 8 Americans:
‘They deserve it, I hate the United States no less than Iran.’
‘We just started, dear Americans. The blows have only just begun.’ https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2066678891230773455
That's just a "coincidence" I'm sure...
This is the sort of thing that happens when they don't get their way...
The question I have is... Here's a plane that's pretty long in the tooth, that was on a "test flight". What were they testing at this point in its life cycle???
How did this aircraft come down? What could have brought this plane down and why was the crash so catastrophic?
And of course, let's not forget the F18 Super Hornet that just happened to crash on the same day.
FISHY...

Thanks for finding that! I knew it would show up somewhere.
One thing to keep in mind, those are not the sort of things that someone who was genuinely trying to promote and benefit “Israel” would ever say unless they were functionally retarded.
That’s what someone would say who was trying to get Israel (contexts: political/geographical/national) hated and targeted, kinda like the ADL, who seems to do very similar.
At some point, the mafia are likely to try very hard to blow up even the more core host to cover their tracks, just like they’ve done to the outer layers of their host onion many times…
If I'm not mistaken, that is a very large plane so why does it look it was vaporized... don't see any parts that would resemble a plane?
Prayers to the pilots and their families.
👆This.
PENTAGON 9/11 REENACTMENT?
Happens DAY OF Iran Treaty.
This smells. A lot.
B-52's carry around 300K lbs. of JP-8 fuel. JP-8 burns up to 2500° F. Aluminum melts at 1200° F. There's no mystery...
B-52s are flying fuel tanks. A crash will burn it up. Aluminum melts at far below the adiabatic flame temperature of burning jet fuel, and the evaporating aluminum will also burn.
Fully fueled all combustibles add to it..
Usually the debris field is larger and very dense components like the landing gear, turbine engines and large sections on the fuselage will still be recognizable.
Praying for anyone involved. 🙏
Definitely spooky looking. Hardly anything left by viewing the video from a long distance.
PRAYERS Lifted~!
72 hour rule...
A Russian Bomber literally dropped out the Sky on the same Day an American B52 Explodes in California
These can’t be coincidences
New Technology can clearly render Planes useless. https://x.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/2066639318433599902 --------Groks take====== The post by @BGatesIsaPyscho claims a Russian Tu-22M3 bomber crash in Siberia and a US B-52 Stratofortress explosion at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 15, 2026, are linked by new technology capable of disabling planes. Official reports confirm the Tu-22M3 suffered an apparent engine failure during training with crew ejection; the B-52 crashed shortly after takeoff on a test mission, killing all eight aboard in a fiery impact leaving minimal wreckage. Multiple aviation incidents in mid-June 2026, including a Missouri skydiving plane crash killing 12, have prompted widespread online speculation about non-coincidental patterns despite no confirmed common cause.
Testing New Brit Engines ?

Good question, but the article points out that the first installation modification won't take place until later this year. So, the question is still open on what caused the present accident. (Rolls Royce makes excellent engines, by the way.)
Written May 4 . So June 15 is later this year in a World where peasants don't get word until after the fact anyway. Is Rolls Royce a British Company subject to MI 6 and City of London rules of engagement ?
We will likely never know the true cause. Like Building 7 .
"Good question, but the article points out that the first installation modification won't take place until later this year."
Lies are often hard to keep straight......So, 'I don't know what you are talking about'
"Airplane accidents are always the focus of intense investigation to determine cause, and the results are made public"... Like the red propellant residue on the seats of Flight 800 out of NYC? You know the one proven by Evergreen Airlines ( where the Goose is parked) to be a Center Tank Fuel explosion ?
I also found that a strange coinkidink. The Russian plane literally just dropped out the sky, then a B52.
Sure, these can be coincidences. There is no physical law that prevents the same class of accidents from happening to different people in different places in the world on the same day. Lots of people. Lots of airplanes. Military flight is more dangerous than passenger flight, and even passenger flight regrettably has its share of lethal crashes. An unspecified "new technology" is just an appeal to witchcraft.
"There are no coincidences". These are staged events for signalling purposes. In this case I suspect the message is revealed by Kern County. That's KC or 11.3. The 15th was selected because that connects to the Durham report. The crash in Russia was staged because the "Russia, Russia, Russia" conspiracy is gonna blow up soon. The google AI still stinks at coding, but it's great at giving hints like "Backfire". And supersonic means BOOM!
Aircraft: The Tu-22M3 (NATO reporting name: "Backfire") is a supersonic, long-range maritime and strategic bomber that has been actively utilized in combat operations in Syria and Ukraine...
I just wonder if 52 weeks means in a year or for a year.
I'm sorry. You are turning a complete tragedy into a denial fantasy. Everyone likes to quote Q as saying "misinformation is necessary," and then forget he said it. Who stages the death of 8 people for "signalling purposes"? Nobody I would want to follow.
Exactly. The people who stage these things are not the sorta people I'd want to follow either. But they exist, and they do it, so what can we do but watch this stupid movie and point at the screen.
These things are not "staged." They are terrible accidents. This is not a movie, this is real life. People die unexpectedly, unwillingly, unpleasantly, leaving grief behind.
"So what can we do but watch this stupid movie...?" This belief is what turns you into a passive spectator, without any understanding that you are an Agent---put on this Earth to Do Things, not just point at the screen.
Funny how it never happened when Israel thought we were doing their bidding
Hold, hoooolllldddd.
A fire doesn't vaporize a plane, and even a blast-furnace would only liquify the rather large amount of metal it is made out of......
Only 2 options remain, a directed energy weapon(like a laser) but that would leave a area scorched not a plane'ish outline. or Fuckery afoot.....
Something is definitively off here.....
Yes, a fire can and does vaporize an airplane made from ALUMINUM (see Thank_Q above). Especially when the evaporating aluminum can itself catch fire and burn. So many airplanes have crashed and burned in the history of post-World-War-II aviation, there is no need to imagine wild explanations.
A fuel fire is not hot enough to consume aluminum.
Absolutely it is. All you need is vapor, and any liquid will evaporate. Aluminum melts at a much lower temperature than burning jet fuel. Water puddles don't go away because they boil; they evaporate at ambient temperature. Aluminum is a fierce fuel. Modern composite solid propellant is about 30% by weight of finely powdered aluminum. (Think Space Shuttle or STS boosters.)
There's a difference between aluminum melting and being totally consumed.
Of course. When the aluminum burns, it is totally consumed. When it melts, it gives off vapor, which will light off once it get hot enough (i.e., at the jet fuel flame temperature). The combustion is more vigorous than for jet fuel, burns hotter, and releases more heat per pound. Some studies of rocket propellant combustion indicate that the molten aluminum fuel particles are in an aerosol state and combust at their surface.
Think magnesium and zirconium. They too burn white hot.
Aluminum is slightly better than magnesium. Best of all would be beryllium. I'm not sure about boron fibers.
RIP Patriots. Your sacrifice for our nation is received by all Americans with great sorrow and prayers for your loved ones.
Another woman pilot?
Seems a little fake-newsy. Did they remove all the plane parts before taking the video? I'm thinking something else happened there.
What if there were no plane parts left? I don't think this was a fuel fire. Something else was involved.
Maybe, but a B52 doesn't just vaporize, so there's definitely something else going on.
I haven't seen a crash site like that since the Maui fires.
Good point!
As I mentioned above, a B-52 is a flying fuel tank. The flame temperature of burning jet fuel is high enough to easily melt the aluminum aircraft structure, and perhaps also ignite any aluminum vapor (which would make the fire even hotter).
DEI perhaps?....
It's the only explanation
Or DUI
🙏
Prayers on the way.
hmmmmm B-52.... F18 Hornet ....
What comes next?
I feel like every comment I saw on instagram about this was "HELL NO THAT AINT NO PLANE"
When a house burns to the ground, there isn't much there that looks like a house, either.
Prayers for my fellow Airmen and their families and friends. I fondly recall B52s roaring over my head at Griffiss AFB back in 1973.
It is giving me goosebumps, I feel so sad for their families, prayers to them. What is that message in Telegram?
No debris. More BS B-52 incoming MOAB???
We're supposed to believe that that enormous airplane was reduced to nothing but a smear on the desert floor in less than an hour.
Even with military firefighters being right there and immediately fighting that fire.
I have never seen or heard of any aircraft being reduced to literal ash that fast.
Was it even a plane? Is there any video that shows the crash itself? All I saw was towering black smoke and then the black mark beside the runway. Nothing more.
something ain't right here
Yes, because it happens with large airplanes carrying a huge fuel load. The fire is hot enough to easily melt the aluminum structure, which can evaporate into gaseous aluminum and also catch fire (higher temperature). Plenty of cases where much the same thing has happened to a passenger jetliner: only blobs of congealed aluminum left on the ground.
Learn more. Believe less.
To be fair, looking at it sideways is a product of believing less and of having seen a lot of plane crashes with huge debris fields.
Got any good hard evidence of commonplaceness of vaporized plane crashes, outside of this one and the 9/11 pentagon plane?
Here's a video showing an F-4 doing a controlled collision with a reinforced concrete wall. Total disintegration. No penetration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4CX-9lkRMQ
Here's an aerial view of a C-141 whose forward fuselage was entirely burned out. https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/2158ug/green_ramp_disaster_the_wreckage_of_a_c141/
Here's a Japan Airlines ground collision that consumed the fuselage and left the wings mostly intact. https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/2158ug/green_ramp_disaster_the_wreckage_of_a_c141/
This is just on short notice. Here's a pretty good sectional view of a late-model B-52, showing the fuel tankage in the upper half of the body from crew area in front to empennage in back, plus the wings (pardon the Russian source; one can't always get what one wants at short notice). https://www.metaljournal.com.ua/boeing-b-52-stratofortress/ A crash and fire would involve the entire airplane.
The evidence is as hard as the ground the planes crash into.
Top F4 comments:
“they are testing the pilots helmet”
“This video has more views than pixels.
Again: In less than an hour? Maybe less than half an hour?
With a highly professional fire department jumping on it within four to five minutes at most?
How long would you expect it to take for that plane to be fully vaporized with no fire suppression activity at all?
And, of course, there is no video or still images at all of the crash itself. Nothing to show that this was actually an airplane or what might have brought it down.
Not trying to argue with you - and I appreciate your info - but we've just been buried in too many ridiculous explanations for too many things for us not to question this one.
(You need to see my answer to AmateurExpert with photos and video.) The progression of a bad fire is ferocious. How exactly does professionalism outdo walls of flame? Other airplanes have been mostly consumed right at the airport. Were the fire departments nothing but dunderheads sitting on their hands?
Yeah, once I provide hard evidence that this is a "thing" that happens, you retreat into preposterous demands for live footage and proof that the entire story isn't a fraud. Eyewitness testimony is not good enough for you.
People frequently find true explanations to be at odds with their uninformed preconceptions. There is no need to question the kind of event that (sadly) has happened from time to time over decades of experience. (If you read the pages of Aviation Week & Space Technology for half a century, you will see plenty of this.)
Oh no Grandpa Buff had an accident, RIP BUFF
