May 16th 1965, at AB Bien Hoa. Ordnance being loaded onto a B-57 Canberra spontaneously detonated, creating a chain reaction that resulted in the destruction of 10 B-57s, 27 A-1 Skyraiders, and an F-8 Crusader, 34 deaths, and over 100 wounded.
34-year-old USAF Major Robert G. Bell --- who had been one of the 32 finalists for NASA Astronaut Group 1 in 1959 --- was among the dead.
The USAF, in their official history of the Vietnam War, stated that it was one of the "worst disasters in Air Force history".
