The airplane departed Wheeler AFB on a maritime patrol flight over the Pacific Ocean. Less than two hours into the flight, the crew encountered technical problems with the engine n°2 that was misfiring and the captain decided to return to base. Approaching Oahu Island, the crew proceeded with a fuel transfer from the bomb bay tanks to the main tanks when an apparent overflow of fuel in the bomb bay led to an explosion. Three crew members bailed out and parachuted to safety while five others occupants were killed when the airplane crashed into the sea off Kailua.
