Two weeks ago on the World of Aviation we learned about the crash of a B-52 bomber in the Twin Cities. This Sunday morning (1-18-26) we'll get a first hand account of the horrific crash of this behemoth bomber in 1958 in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. Loren Kahl was 15 when the Stratofortress slammed into the Kahl family farm. The explosion was so intense, people across the Twin Cities thought it was a nuclear attack. Join Loren Kahl and Al Malmberg to hear Loren's first hand account of this devastating crash at 10:05 (ct) on AM-1280-The Patriot.
