The aircraft was shot down by Soviet pilot Studilin in the region of Seoncheon while completing a bombing mission on a railroad bridge at Gwaksan, North Korea. The Soviet aircraft attacked 'Miss Jackie' four times. The first attack was unsuccessful due to distance. On the second attack the engine on the left wing caught fire. After the fourth attack an engine on the right wing caught fire. Then the heavy bomber went out of control and crashed into the sea about 15-20 kilometers southeast of the Tetsyuzan peninsula. All 14 crew members were killed.

The crew was engaged in a training sortie out from Carswell AFB. Just after liftoff, while in initial climb, the crew informed ground that he lost an engine cowling and obtained the permission to return for a safe landing. On touchdown, one of the main landing gear collapsed. The heavy bomber went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest in flames, killing seven crew members. It was reported that the total weight of the airplane upon landing was too high, causing the undercarriage to collapse.

The crew was performing a photo reconnaissance mission when the aircraft went out of control and crashed in flames in the region of Sunchon, killing all three crew members. It is believed the aircraft caught fire before being out of control.

The crew was engaged in a training sortie from March AFB when the heavy bomber collided in unclear circumstances with a USN Vought F4U-4 Corsair registered 81218 from VMA-251 flying out from MCAS El Toro. The 4 plane Corsair formation was on a GCI and Camera Gunnery flight. Apparently they were asked by the B-29s to make head on gunnery passes. The first three Corsairs did so, but the fourth, piloted by 2nd Lt Joe K. Jensen did not. Following the collision, both aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean about 30 miles west of Oceanside. The pilot of the Corsair was killed as well as 11 crew members from the Superfortress, six other have been rescued.
