Has anyone seen any more information about the WWII Bomber that crashed at Bradley (Hartford/Springfield) today?

There were fatalities. Crashed while attempting to land. That's all I've heard for sure and I doubt if there will be more before tomorrow. Can't release identification of fatalities until next of kin notified. Can't determine cause until NTSB investigation well advanced

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen thanks for the update, I imagine as the weeks pass, more will be revealed.

Maj Kim Patterson Yes I'm sure we will. Initial report of losing one engine shouldn't bring a B-17 down, so there has to be more involved.

MSG (Join to see) I was watching it in complete disbelief earlier while at the VA. It’s my hometown area. They hadn’t confirmed any deaths yet when last I checked. Thank you,
