Summary

Description
English: The burned-out wreckage of Omega Aerial Refueling Services Flight 70 lying in a marsh off runway 21 at Naval Base Ventura County, California after it crashed on takeoff on 18 May 2011. The aircraft, a 707-300B modified as an aerial fuel tanker, experienced a separation of the #2 engine just after liftoff, which also struck and effectively disabled the #1 engine. When the takeoff was rejected, the aircraft ran off the runway and caught fire; the three flightcrew escaped without serious injury, but the aircraft was destroyed. A line of wooden pallets laid down to enable firefighters and investigators to approach the aircraft wreckage is visible in the foreground.
