B-52 down in Guam

Breaking news:

… emergency responders were called to duty around 9:45 a.m. when the B-52 crashed Northwest of Guam. … The debris site is located approximately 25 nautical miles Northwest of Guam and as of four o’clock this afternoon, officials were still searching for the six crew members believed to be on board.

This is the fourth military crash at Andersen AFB this year (see also Bye bye B-2). Is this just a reflection of increased activity at the base and can be chalked up to statistical error? Or is there a gap between the rate of growth at Andersen and the state of the infrastructure that is causing these accidents? Either way, here’s hoping they find the six missing aircrew alive and well.
