Rescue crews searched a vast area off the island of Guam for crew members of an Air Force B-52 Bomber last July 21, 2008.
The Coast Guard said there were at least two people recovered from the waters, but their condition was not immediately available. The search involves six vessels, three helicopters, two F-15 fighter jets and a B-52 Bomber were involved in the search, covering about 70 square miles of ocean.
The B-52 Bomber based at Barksdale Air Force in Louisiana was en route to conduct a flyover in a parade when it crashed around 9:45 a.m. Monday about 30 miles northwest of Apra Harbor.
The Liberation Day parade celebrates the day when the U.S. military arrived on Guam to retake control of the island from Japan.
The accident will be further investigated by the Air Force board of officers. The accident was the second for the Air Force this year on Guam, a U.S. territory 3,700 miles southeast of Hawaii.
