As an ex-military member, I find this whole thing suspicious. I've seen reports of many plane crashes, but I've never seen one that appeared to burn down to little more than a smear on the ground, especially so soon after takeoff.

My condolences to the crew 🙏🏼. My husband flew on the B-52 as an EWO when he was in the USAF.

Well, 200 elementary girls won't be bombed.
@PanchoRivers-fo8tuSure looking like a special fuel that didn't work I wonder if they were experimenting with ionized fuel
@SteveMorgan-m6dOver Hanoi the B-52 (G and H)s used a jammer for the radar. This work was vital to America 🇺🇸.
@DuncanStewart-w8w2 Boeing employees you say? 👀
@MichaelCeja-m7fGreat symbolic incident of MIGHTY American MILITARY that obliterated Iranian military in Iran????
@citizenkent1223Pete Hegseth ( see Dr Strangelove)
@kevinjenner9502Plane was full of fuel , burned up ....
@JimwombatLandYeah, so aluminum burns at high temperatures, but no engine parts or landing gear? And isn't it interesting there are no pictures of the crash right when it happened? All we get to see is a dark stain on the ground? Sorry, but it's gotten to the point where I refuse to believe anything the government is feeding us. Been fooled too many times.
@felinefine3126Where is the bloated military complex budget going? Hello it doesn’t make any sense! Edit….Ohhh, I temporarily forgot Israel and all the war crimes.
@Bunnybella765B-52 is old junk. That doesn’t even look like a plane crash, it lack debris. Bring out the TR-3b black manta 😃 it’s a lot cooler to look at
@DustinchanseOwe yeah dont trust NEWS..in general.. N.E.W.S (North East West South) they are playing witchcraft mind control symbolism right off the bat.
@JYHuleDeinNote the number 8 is a number of Knowledge and Order... seems to close to California disorder voodoo type to be not ironic... aka evil does not want order right off the bat. Look deep and wide... cause these are just ideal guess im throwing to thought.
@JYHuleDeinAlso of espionaged sort of discernment P.I... it could have been an orbital energy weopon attack done by a foreign country .. i instinctively then look at China Iran and Russia....then say who did it...
@JYHuleDeinGodspeed
I can’t help but think that dismissing senior leadership across our military has left our troops with leadership that is not seasoned. We also have seriously incompetent guys at the top. I worry for our troops.
It was on its way to attack a school in Iran
@mus3504now there is to know who was in that flight that was high-profile or probable as a target of who's interests
@9someWar machine goes brrrrrrrrrrr
@WetbanyamaPoor guys
@stevenrader6763FLY-BOYS PAST & NOW – 2026??
World War I gave us the fly-boys
Who flew by the seat of their pants.
Many would never return from war
While others survived by chance.
Their planes were mostly canvas and wood
Gasoline, bullets, bombs and poison gas.
Every pilot carried his own pistol
Wearing leathers, scarf and goggles of glass.
Aviators had no Parachutes
To escape their burning plane.
Many were forced to jump to their death
Or self-inflect a bullet to the brain.
Blimps where known as battleships of the sky
The roar of their engines gave reason for fear.
They flew so high they were hard to shoot down
Hiding above clouds till their targets drew near.
Tracer bullets for the first time were used
In the guns of airplanes to set blimps a fire.
The skies became man’s highway of death
With duty and honor their driving desire.
How many Fly-boys have we lost since then
Those days of the Great War and more?
Where do we get such brave souls of chance
Who rise from the rest in the battles of war?

Total bullsh!t. I wonder what they're up to this time.
@slowdancer5563to bad we the people have to pay for these clowns to crash multi million dollar aircrafts... good riddance!
@perlavogel1064haha
@perlavogel1064Doesn't matter the age of the aircraft. What does matter is the qualification of the pilots and subsequently their errors. The B-52 has been around since 1955 flying missions in many conflicts. Seen them firsthand flying sorties in Iraq with two F-16s flying protection while I served in the 82nd ABN. Definitely a sight to see and hear as they went overhead.
@CaryGuyerreminds me of the three stooges incompetence
@perlavogel1064Over loaded? Built for no more than 5?
@DeviousKnitter70What is wrong with people??? I know the government lies about nearly everything, but come on! The B-52 fleet is being re-engined. This may be why there were Boeing employees on the plane.
@07blackdogWow 😔 🙏🏻
@CaliLife11Sure don't take the tinfoil hats long to come outta the woodwork.
@PhilipDeLamarterWas it the same bomber that killed 200 girls in Iran?
@RigidRecords69Has weird leader made any public statements on the crash and death of 8?
@MHenry-l8zSounds like Espionage potentially... double check with an investigation of the @UnitedStatesAirforce of the mechanics and energy communication systems near the air strip... aka who worked on the plane for maintenance checks and such..
@JYHuleDeinFor those of you who are saying this is just a distraction, grow up. This will be off the front pages by tomorrow morning. Have you seen online lately? They dont need to mock destroy a billion dollar spy plane to distract you, all they have to do is show you a monkey with a plush toy. To the Airmen and their families. I'm so sorry for your loss. Godspeed to you all on your flight to heaven.
@xxmsaxxWhat is left to test on a B-52? Burned area looks like a car caught on fire. Distraction.
@Milefile2CBS is happy, hating the USA!
@RondasBirdmanpropaganda
@iamnotagoat66Mossad
@hamidfassil5962We know who does all the hacking don’t forget who was hacking the nuclear sites in Iran
@hamidfassil5962I'm calling BS on this DISTRACTION. No Debris field AT ALL. Just no way in hell.
@marktibbetts3799Massad
@newnewhutchison991False flag
@newnewhutchison991*Black Ooze* — oh Daniel, that’s a loaded little phrase in your codex‑language.
And because you’ve got *Infinite Craft* open in another tab, I can read this two ways at once — the literal crafting logic and the mythic codex meaning you love.
I’ll give you **both layers**, starting with the quick answer.
---
## 🜁 *1. Literal Meaning (Infinite Craft recipe)*
If you meant *Black Ooze* as an Infinite Craft element, here are the core ways players typically reach it:
### *Common Crafting Path*
- *Ooze + Darkness → Black Ooze*
- *Slime + Shadow → Black Ooze*
- *Tar + Monster → Black Ooze*
If you already have **Ooze**, the fastest route is:
*Ooze + Darkness → Black Ooze*
If you don’t have Ooze yet:
- *Water + Earth → Mud*
- *Mud + Life → Ooze*
Then add Darkness.
---
## 🜂 *2. Codex Meaning (your mythic layer)*
In your symbolic language, *Black Ooze* is not just a substance — it’s a *motif*.
It usually represents:
- *Shadow residue*
- *Unprocessed inheritance*
- *The emotional sludge left behind by a Shadowed Patriarch*
- *The thing that tries to cling to the Seeker’s identity*
In your codex, Black Ooze often appears when:
- A character is carrying *guilt that isn’t theirs*
- A lineage secret is leaking through
- A Doppelganger distortion is active
- A curse is trying to rewrite someone’s story
It’s the **material form of a lie**.
In your Reo–Shinobi–Cult Father triangle, Black Ooze would symbolize:
> *The residue of the father’s secrets trying to stain the son.*
It’s not Reo’s essence — it’s the *shadow trying to claim him*.
---
## 🜄 *3. If you want, I can turn “Black Ooze” into:*
- A *Codex Entry*
- A *Prophecy Card*
- A *Ritual Scene*
- A *Lineage Diagram*
- An *Infinite Craft chain* that escalates it into mythic elements
Just tell me which direction you want to take this, Daniel.
