Quote: "The 'in-flight emergency' mentioned by the Pentagon was reportedly an engine fire, according to unidentified Air Force personnel who shared accounts with Air Force amn/nco/snco; while the extinguisher systems were activated to put out the blaze, the fire indicator light did not go off after their use, which may have indicated a failure to extinguish the fire. If this reading is accurate, the extinguisher failure could have led to an uncontrolled and catastrophic fire that could have potentially resulted in the complete loss of the aircraft in a rapid period of time."
Quote: "Last week, images surfaced on Facebook purporting to show a burnt-out engine from the incident, as well as photos from The Associated Press and Midland Reporter-Telegram showing that the B-1B, tail number 86-0109, was missing a ceiling hatch, leading to speculation an in-flight ejection was attempted."
Quote: "Fire crews responding to the aircraft used foam on the plane, suggesting the crew had reported an engine fire."
Note: This happened on May 1, but the reason for the emergency landing was not given at that time. So, another plane engine bursting into flame, like the passenger plane that just ignited and crashed and killed 110+ people near the coast in Cuba a few days ago, and the military plane that ignited and crashed and killed 257 people near the coast in Algeria last month, and the private jet that ignited and crashed and killed 11 people in Iran in March, and so on. More flammable gases are entering the atmosphere so more planes are burning and/or smoking and/or exploding, simple as that. Sometimes planes will be hit by a foul odor or chemical smell too, as they fly through invisible clouds of gas containing hydrogen sulfide. This is the 76th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018...

Firefighters responded about 5:42 a.m. Monday to a parking lot filled with Fiat Chrysler vehicles at Booth Avenue and Counter Street. Crews reported a column of smoke visible for miles. With plastic and petroleum burning, it produced a heavy amount of black smoke, the spokesman said. Pvt. Sterling Rahe said the fire was primarily located in a group of vehicles in the center of the lot. Firefighters quickly maneuvered through other vehicles to extinguish the flames, he said. About 18 to 22 vehicles sustained damage."
