Safety history
- July 13, 1950Accident
The crew was taking part to a bombing mission in the Korean War and was enroute to Korea with a load of bomb on board. While cruising in a formation of several B-29 bombers, the crew encountered an engine failure and the captain decided to return to his base. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, it was decided to jettison the bombs. A 500 pounds bomb hung up in the racks and while attempting to release the bomb, it detonated either within the bomb bay or immediately beneath the belly of the plane
