Engine falls off B-52 during Air Force training flight

A B-52 bomber landed safely after an engine dropped out of the plane during an Air Force training flight in North Dakota Wednesday, resurrecting questions about the plane’s viability after months of skepticism from Republican politicians.

Defense News reported Wednesday that no one was injured in the incident and no weapons were on board the eight-engine plane. The engine fell off the plane in an unpopulated area northeast of Minot Air Force base and debris from the engine will be recovered by the Air Force, according to the report.
