All seven aircrew members escaped without injuries Thursday morning after a B-52H Stratofortress was involved in a “mishap” on the flightline at Andersen AFB, Guam, according to a press release. A base spokesman told Air Force Magazine the incident was not a crash, but did not offer more details. Emergency responders rushed to the scene after the incident during a routine training mission around 8:30 a.m. local time.

Officials are investigating the incident and working to mitigate any environmental impacts. It is not clear if the bomber was carrying any weapons at the time.
