A military aircraft carrying nuclear material has crashed in California, leaving officials to believe all five passengers are dead.

The plane crashed in Imperial County near Highway 78 and the town of Glamis - 30 miles north of the Mexican border, and 150 miles east of San Diego.

The crash was confirmed by Naval Air Facility El Centro, 30 miles from the crash site.

Officials believe at least five people were aboard at the time of the crash.

Investigators have presumed all passengers are dead, according to FOX 5 reporter Malik Earnest.

They were likely vaxxed — and that’s all that matters.

“Radio scanner chatter and tips report the military craft is a V-22 Osprey that had five personnel on board, and there are unconfirmed reports of causalities and it being a hazardous material — possibly radioactive material — situation.”

It’s a V-22 so highly unlikely it’s a nuke onboard. More likely a sealed container of something radioactive that’s used as a detector or etc.

The only aircraft I know of that might carry five passenger, AND nuclear warheads is a B-52.

This appears to be a Broken Arrow event.

Public hazard, actual or implied

“... military aircraft carrying nuclear material’ crashes in California”

Probably trying ratchet up things a bit in Ukraine. Why the hell not, conventional weapons aren’t working.

Or a radiation based sterilization system....guaranteed to kill any bugs, germs, viruses or mRNA vaccines.

Not on a V-22, that’s for sure.

Thanks for the laugh.   I've got to go trim my beard now.   My wife has a dentist appointment tomorrow and doesn't want me looking like a hillbilly mountain man.

We carry “radioactive material” for several reasons. Radiation sources are included in some equipment for chemical/biological/nuclear weapons detection, equipment calibration, medical equipment and treatment, etc. I used to have to personally sight some of these sources monthly. The word about these materials is put out to warn responders and lookyloos not to mess with the crash site, as there could be an exposure risk.

I just don’t get the media trying to make a tragic accident into something more. As if the US Army or the Corps are going to send a V-22 on a long range bombing mission over Moscow.

Puh-leeze.

Tragic. Five of our finest gone and probably knew what was happening.
