[AT] OT B-29: Frozen in Time

[Will Powell]

Yes, I remember watching that about 4 years ago? The end shocked me. Very sad. A pilot I knew said it should have never burned up. B29 instructions said to never run the APU during take off.....

Yes i saw that show. It is a shame that they had a accident and it 
burned before they got off the ground.
