For everyone triggered by the plane getting destroyed: The airframe had worked its days. The stresses placed on it by the fuselage sagging between the wings would have weakened it. One must also consider that the air pressure decreases when the aircraft climbs to its cruising altitude (altitude = height above sea level). The plane then flies at a high airspeed at a high altitude where the air pressure is low. When it’s time to land, they obviously descend. As they do this, the airspeed bleeds off. Of course they’ll try to bleed it off faster by using the flaps and the speed brakes, but these measures can only bleed off so much. Added to that, the flaps increase lift as well as drag, meaning more stress on the wings from the weight of the fuselage. This is important to note because some airspeed will be carried into higher air pressure at the lower altitudes before the plane slows to 145 knots and subsequent lands. Specifically to the B-52, this aircraft has been around since the 1950’s, so it’s more than likely that this example had earned more than its crust.
Its a sad story, but it is what it is. Everything has a time to come and go! for example if you keep that plane forever "flyable" one day the airframe will collapse. and then the people will die! is that an better idea? no offcourse not.
From my logbook my crew & I flew this same airplane 59-2578 on 08 March 1984, callsign “Reap 13” on the 97th Bombardment Wing’s ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection). Our crew even had a member of SAC Headquarters Inspector General team sitting on the cockpit Jumpseat, named Colonel Hamilton. Our Bomb Wing as weeks away from transitioning our Bombing system from the older ASG-38 to the latest update the Offensive Avionics System(OAS). Our Wing performance on getting bombs on target was rated “ Marginal”, so we busted the inspection. My own crew had to perform a time-and-distance simulated bomb release on a no-show target on our last bomb run which was at Havre, Montana, which was a bad simulated release. Contrary to what one sees in movies the Wing Commander wasn’t fired. He was one of the golden boys…still made one-star in 1985, retired as a three-star as Commander 8th Air Force.
For those curious, the B-52G was capable of carrying nuclear payloads, and due to the new START treaty between the US and Russia, the US was limited to 700 nuclear ICBMs, SLBMs, and nuclear capable bombers. The US eliminated their excess nuclear capable bombers by scrapping them.
Why? Can't transport freight or passengers. No usage as scientific carrier or for some NASA shenanigans. All this things doing is collecting rust. Let it die and be reborn as something new.
Thanks For Watching We Will Be Posting New Videos Every Day
Can you make more shredding plane videos?
No please stop making crushing planes i hate crushing planes!!!!
@@thefallenbendytimeloop.1162 no
Arrest everyone involved in this atrocity
Yes please 😭

They could at least do it in a less brutal manner

This is not alright!!! Planes have a life too!

Yeah. Can't repurpose them into cargo planes, like the yanks did with their B-17s after WWII. So, recycling it is.
I had tears in my eyes seeing the plane that my father flew being destroyed because of the START agreement with the Soviet Union.
this is making me upset seeing the b-52 getting shredded up....and destroyed...

HANDLE IT BETTER WHEN TAKING THEM APART ATLEAST
No one will be saved
Just think of what would happen if that plane hit a building full of huge i beams reinforced concrete with rebar! Oh yeah it did happen or did it? 911
Was that a crashed plane or something??
No, it was used as an instructional airframe to teach maintainers at Sheppard AFB,TX.
I worked on 2578 at Loring AFB, ME, in the 80s
Now that’s a lot of damage what about a little moooooore
1:31 nooooooo0000
Inside b52
I´m so sad to see this video
;-(
